The whole piece does support my views.
You should read it.
Here it describes the position the paper took in 1914.

"The Manchester Guardian had been very strongly opposed to war, and frankly isolationist. No one was more insistent on the need to keep out of a European war than the paper's chief leader writer and deputy editor, CE Montague. But when war was declared, he was so appalled by German perfidy that he enlisted, aged 47, dying his grey hair to conceal his age."

No need for me to lie about it.
Anyway, my case rests on the historians, not any lefty newspaper.

The historians hold the same views of mine that you ridiculed.
None still believe those old myths you cling to.

You are reduced to claiming that the historians are all lying or deluded!
Funny and ridiculous.
