Double Down News (DDN) is a British alternative media outlet founded in 2017 by Yannis Mendez.[1] Funded through Patreon, it produces films and interviews from a left-wing perspective.[2] Double Down News' contributors have included Peter Oborne, George Monbiot,[3] Guz Khan,[4] Nabil Abdul Rashid[5] and David Graeber.[6] The outlet has produced content sympathetic to Jeremy Corbyn[7] and critical of the Conservative Party.[8]

History

In August 2017, DDN published a video related to "Traingate", when Jeremy Corbyn had been accused of lying about a Virgin train being full and him being forced to sit on the floor. Jasper Jackson of the New Statesman reviewed that though its video "tells a convincing and detailed account of the whole affair", and reflects poorly on mainstream media reporting, the video was misleading. It presented widely broadcast footage as "never-before seen" and does not disclose that the videomaker capturing footage for Corbyn was a director of DDN.[7]

In October 2018, due to a "violation of community standards", Facebook removed a DDN video featuring Monbiot talking about the alleged atrocities of Christopher Columbus.[16] It was restored the following day, accompanied by an apology.[3]

In October 2022, it published a video by Oborne talking about the Conservative Party having been taken over by the super rich who pushed for tax cutting policies which was in the mini budget and then a U-turn was made by Liz Truss's government.[8]

Why are you asking for my opinion on something other than what I commented on? Beastly Boy Apr 9 #30

You don't need to. n/t Uncle Joe Apr 9 #31

That's right. Which makes the question all the more perplexing. Beastly Boy Apr 9 #32

No it is not antisemitic, and it is not trash. You are in denial, hiding behind the anti-semitic card. Martin68 Apr 9 #4

What percentage of Israeli citizens support the current war in Gaza? Martin68 Apr 9 #6

Polls suggest that only 21% of Israelis don't want the war to end, Beastly Boy Apr 9 #27

Your statistic doesn't answer my question. Of course, most Israelis "want the war to end." The relevant Martin68 Apr 9 #36

I couldn't find any current polls (newer than half year old) that answers your question with the specificity you demand. Beastly Boy Apr 10 #46

If what you write is true, that there are no polls you trust to provide information regarding the percentage of Martin68 Apr 10 #49

I wrote that your expectations of polling are not legitimate. Beastly Boy Apr 10 #50

It is your assumptions that fly in the face of the reality on the ground in Gaza. The bombing Martin68 Apr 10 #52

What assumption are you talking aboutg? Beastly Boy Apr 10 #53

Your assumption is that a majority of Israelis view Palestinians as fully human. You have not provided any Martin68 Apr 11 #56

Like I said, one cannot prove a negative. Beastly Boy Apr 11 #57

Bye. See you around. Martin68 Apr 11 #58

It seems that you followed my advice to Martin68: find a less than legitimate pollster to ask your question Beastly Boy Sunday #66

Why not? Martin68 Sunday #68

Why not use illegitimate polling to force an illegitimate point? Beastly Boy Sunday #69

Wrong. AloeVera Sunday #71

It is not the number of Israelis surveyed, and not other clients of this pollster that is in question. Beastly Boy Sunday #73

I Never got a direct response, and the excuse was "you can't prove a negative." Acknowledging the percentage Martin68 Sunday #67

You got plenty of responses, and in a fit of wisdom, you decided not to reply. Beastly Boy Sunday #70

I really appreciate you addressing my rather curious attempt to not beat a dead horse. Beastly Boy Sunday #74

Your outrage and interpretations aside, none of this addresses alleged antisemitic remarks by the author. Beastly Boy Apr 10 #47

All people in the world? Hieronymus Phact Apr 9 #10

It was just a question to address your ambiguous statement. Uncle Joe Apr 9 #11

It's not ambiguous at all. Hieronymus Phact Apr 9 #14

Oh but it is. AloeVera Apr 9 #33

If it's a mystery, you could look it up or something. Hieronymus Phact Apr 9 #37

"A far higher number" than what? Seems like you are quotng out of context. Beastly Boy Apr 10 #48

I never said or implied Eko Apr 10 #51

Ok, then, let's not forget that the majority of Jewish Israelis is not in favor of annexing the West Bank. Beastly Boy Apr 10 #54

Sure, but 42% of Jewish Israelis are. Eko Apr 11 #59

A majority of Jewish Israelis in a liberal democratic state being against annexation is horrendous? Seriously? Beastly Boy Apr 11 #60

You keep leaving a part out for some reason. Eko Apr 12 #61

I am adding to the part you are laser focused on, at the expense of a far larger part you are leaving out. Beastly Boy Apr 12 #62
