Thanks for the update (though it does not offer any further clarity unsurprisingly)

However, I have an issue with the [U]links[/U] that Daniel Smyth is attaching to these 'news' updates. News should be neutral but Smyth included a strange link in his first update above, to Mike Graham. Mike Graham is a right wing commentator who often makes provocative and inflammatory statements on various subjects. I let that one slide as I thought the link might have been slipshod, but the fact is few would be linking to Graham as a credible news source.

However, the next link in this latest update is a conservative MP, Steve Baker,  known as a hard right politician who then asserts he is not going to vote for any of the Covid 19 mitigating measures. The appearance given is Daniel Smyth is presenting the news in a neutral manner but there seems to be a hard right bias at play in what he is linking to.

I appreciate this is a poker forum based in America and most are not going to care. However, think of it like this - would everyone be comfortable if in a European poker forum, the news section was featuring clips taken from Fox News and and a politician such as Matt Gaetz?

To be clear, I have no issue to the text of the updates, just the dubious links supplied.
