Give over, the Daily Mail is as right wing as you can get these days, in printed media. The Sun probably isn't that far behind, it's just for people who are a little bit thicker and who like more pictures Edited June 26, 2022 by Sweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobyBrno Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 How many people actually read so many newspapers that they can determine it’s political views or even the political views of any particular journalist? I suspect people just take in the social media bullshit without actually checking facts or actually reading a newspaper. Daily Mail reader, Guardian reader, Gammon, Woke. Simple politics for simple people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 It's really naive to think print media doesn't have an angle it wants to push, simply because of their history and most importantly ownership. Its why Murdoch is still one is the most important figures in British politics. Its an oversimplification to simply say the agendas aren't there. But then the guardian has Katy Balls write a lot for them - but then The Spectator also has a history of liberal radicalism with the Whigs, so it's not that strange. Basically, none of it is without context, history or agenda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, none of it is without context, history or agenda. I’ve always wondered if, during the interview for a journalist at any major newspaper or tv company, they ask them their political views. There was a story when I worked at Hick Hargreaves about the security guy at the front entrance. In days gone by, people used to turn up enquiring about vacancies. He used to give them a form to fill in which included the applicants religion. Only Catholics were passed through to personnel (HR) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
