Double Down News (DDN) is a British alternative media outlet founded in 2017 by Yannis Mendez.[1] Funded through Patreon, it produces interviews, films and short films from a left-wing perspective.[2]
DDN contributors have included former Daily Telegraph journalist Peter Oborne, Guardian columnist George Monbiot,[3] Darryl McDaniels,[4] Chris Packham,[5] Ken Loach,[6] Guz Khan,[7] Nabil Abdul Rashid,[8] Owen Jones,[9] David Graeber,[10] John McDonnell,[11] Peter Jukes,[12] and Matt Kennard.[13]
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.[14]
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.[15] 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.[16]
