I’d say that Breitbart & The Canary are behind that, unless you’re talking about just print (and even then they’re not the worst- I pray you never have the misfortune to read the Shankill Mirror)

Yeah I was referring to the national daily’s.

Breitbaet and the Canary are also complete trash when it comes to factual reporting

I think you will find that there are a large number of journalistic publications that report full stories with much better accuracy and less distracting bigotry than the Mail.

You want two sides, read the Guardian and the Telegraph, or the Times and the I, or any number of more niche publications like Reuters, New Statesman, Economist until you are satisfied you have the absolute facts. There is no need to support tabloids with no journalistic integrity.


BTW is there a list of which newspapers have paywalls?

Children and journalists alike should beware of fake news

Teachers must be given the resources they need to help children develop the necessary literacy skills to navigate online news, write Lucy Powell MP and Jonathan Douglas.
Plus Oxford city council leader Susan Brown says it never threatened to fine homeless people

In Sweden we can report the medias reporting if we think its biased or offensive etc to an external organisation. Donnu if that is the case in other countries, but enforcing that I would say would improve the media- and debate-climate!

Don't listen to that. It is teethless and, as with most things here, probably suffers from English elitism.

I guess your idea of an 'independant' press monitor would be one that finds against the Tories at every possible opportunity? teresa.gif

Most of the papers this morning show a strange sense of priorities. Surely most people would accept that the two biggest stories of the day are the continuing turmoil in the government and the rescue of twelve boys and their coach in Thailand. However, both stories are missing from many front pages in favour of a football match that hasn't been played yet.

Not only that, but the Telegraph (once a respectable newspaper) is, supposedly in all seriousness, asking whether Theresa May is guilty of treason.

Are any of us actually surprised at their priorities, though?

Sadly not, but it would have been nice to have been proved wrong.

How has it not occurred to you that such overbearing monitoring of the press would mean we had lost what we cherish so much - our freedom to express ourselves, without state interference? I don't want us to go any further down that slippery slope than we already have!

The freedom to call someone a Traitor because you dont agree with their opinion?

OK. You're a traitor. It's what you just argued for.....

Impartiality works fine for radio and, weell, in theory for tv. That's all. No inflammatory enemies of the people fascist shit or huge lies and bias.
