There is a myth that says the media is the tool of the right,now look at the facts......the Metro the Daily Mirror the Guardian the Times the Independent the Observer all left wing newspapers Channel 4 BBC Sky News,all left leaning and of course on line keyboard warriors mostly lefties

Sky is owned by Rupert Murdoch; definitely right wing.

A study on the BBC by their own regulator recently said that they're very biased against Corbyn and favourable to The Conservatives. They're supposed to be independent and non biased, but are certainly right leaning.

Channel 4 for me tend to be the most balanced. But as you saw in the leaders debate, how Paxman treated Corbyn compared to May, it is certainly still favourable to the right. However, Channel 4 does offer balanced reporting I think.

The guardian and the mirror have traditionally been left wing.

The biggest read newspaper in the UK is the sun, which is right wing. Followed by the daily mail, also right wing.

The BBC and Channel 4's bias could be up for debate.

Sky, however, no chance. They are owned by RUPERT MURDOCH. The same man who owns The Sun, Fox News and so much more.

Re: Left wing media

A post I have just taken from Facebook, which I found really interesting and true. As a lot of people on here, literally repeat what they hear in the media.

Don't know who wrote this #anonymous

Here’s what I’m really struggling to understand. All I’ve ever heard from people, for years, is:

“bloody bankers and their bonuses”
“bloody rich and their offshore tax havens “
“bloody politicians with their lying and second homes”
“bloody corporations paying less tax than me”
“bloody Establishment, they’re all in it together”
“it’ll never change, there’s no point in voting”

And quite rightly so, I said all the same things.

But then someone comes along that’s different. He upsets the bankers and the rich. The Tory politicians hate him along with most of the labour politicians. The corporations throw more money at the politicians to keep him quiet. And the Establishment is visibly shaken. I’ve never seen the Establishment so genuinely scared of a single person.

So the media arm of the establishment gets involved. Theresa phones Rupert asking what he can do, and he tells her to keep her mouth shut, don’t do the live debate, he’ll sort this out. So the media goes into overdrive with:

“she’s strong and stable”
“he’s a clown”
“he’s not a leader”
“look he can’t even control his own party”
“he’ll ruin the economy”
“how’s he gonna pay for it all?!”
“he’s a terrorist sympathiser, burn him, burn the terrorist sympathiser”

And what do we? We’ve waited forever for an honest politician to come along but instead of getting behind him we bow to the establishment like good little workers. They whistle and we do a little dance for them. We run around like hypnotised robots repeating headlines we’ve read, all nodding and agreeing. Feeling really proud of ourselves because we think we’ve came up with our very own first political opinion. But we haven’t, we haven’t come up with anything. This is how you tell. No matter where someone lives in the country, they’re repeating the same headlines, word for word. From Cornwall to Newcastle people are saying:

“he’s a clown”
“he’s a threat to the country”
“she’s strong and stable”
“he’ll take us back to the 70s”

And there’s nothing else, there’s no further opinion. There’s no evidence apart from one radio 5 interview that isn’t even concrete evidence, he actually condemns the violence of both sides in the interview. There’s no data or studies or official reports to back anything up. Try and think really hard why you think he’s a clown, other than the fact he looks like a geography teacher (no offence geography teachers) because he hasn’t done anything clownish from what I’ve seen.

And you’re not on this planet if you think the establishment and the media aren’t all in it together.

You think Richard Branson, who’s quietly winning NHS contracts, wants Corbyn in?
You think Rupert Murdoch, who’s currently trying to widen his media monopoly by buying sky outright, wants Jeremy in?
You think the Barclay brothers, with their offshore residencies, want him in?
You think Philip Green, who stole all the pensions from BHS workers and claims his wife owns Top Shop because she lives in Monaco, wants Corbyn in?
You think the politicians, both Labour and Tory, with their second homes and alcohol paid for by us, want him in?
You think Starbucks, paying near zero tax, wants him in?
You think bankers, with their multi million pound bonuses, want him in?

And do you think they don’t have contact with May? Or with the media? You honestly think that these millionaires and billionaires are the sort of people that go “ah well, easy come easy go, it was nice while it lasted”?? I wouldn’t be if my personal fortune was at risk, I’d be straight on the phone to Theresa May or Rupert Murdoch demanding this gets sorted immediately.

Because here’s a man, a politician that doesn’t lie and can’t lie. He could have said whatever would get him votes anytime he wanted but he hasn’t. He lives in a normal house like us and uses the bus just like us. He’s fought for justice and peace for nearly 40 years. He has no career ambitions. And his seat is untouchable. That’s one of the greatest testimonies. No one comes close to removing him from his constituency, election after election.

His Manifesto is fully costed. It all adds up, yes there’s some borrowing but that’s just to renationalise the railway, you know we already subsidise them and they make profit yeah? One more time… WE subsidise the railway companies and they walk away with a profit, just try and grasp the level of piss taking going on there.

Unlike the Tory manifesto with a £9 billion hole, their figures don’t even add up.

And it benefits all of us, young, old, working, disabled, everyone. The only people it hurts are the establishment, the rich, the bankers, the top 5% highest earners.

Good, screw them, it’s long overdue.

Sky News definitely favours the Conservatives. You only have to watch the awful Adam Boulton to see that. When interviewing a Tory it's like a friendly chat with tea and Biscuits but in contrast when interviewing a Labour MP/Supporter as he turns into a Nazi SS style interrogator.

It's following the same approach as it's grotesque sister outfit in the USA, Fox News except you never get any news on there just brainless right wing hubris and attacks on the liberal constituency. Sky might have a tad more taste but they're still occupying the same right wing swamp.

That's because it isn't Fox. It is still right wing. They're not bloody idiots, and they've got viewers from all walks of life. If Sky went on ranting about Muslims and migrants, I'd cancel my subscription in a heartbeat.

Sky are Tories, that's a fact. So is the Daily Mail, the Sun, The Express, The Telgraph, the Metro, and many, many others. Loughbrough University did a story and the negative Labour stories was 4x higher than the Tories, and they're not the ones in power. Either way, pull your head out of your arse, a minority of the country are as militant as you claim to be.

I suppose if you can afford Sky at their rip off costs, the present government can't be creating too much poverty for everyone. I know loads of people with the full package which I guess is around £100 per month. I would suggest people who can fork out that sort of money to watch tv are not exactly living on the breadline.

On every point except the Times, Ch4 balanced :lol: John Snow describes himself as an Old Lefty furfuxsake, the BBC are as bad trotting out so called moderate Muslims every time there's an atrocity, problem is, the moderates social media postings paint a different picture, full of anti Semitic abuse and hate, their stance on Brexit was ridiculously bias and slanted to remain really beyond parody.

There’s no evidence apart from one radio 5 interview that isn’t even concrete evidence, he actually condemns the violence of both sides in the interview. There’s no data or studies or official reports to back anything up. Try and think really hard why you think he’s a clown, other than the fact he looks like a geography teacher (no offence geography teachers) because he hasn’t done anything clownish from what I’ve seen.

And you’re not on this planet if you think the establishment and the media aren’t all in it together.

You think Richard Branson, who’s quietly winning NHS contracts, wants Corbyn in?
You think Rupert Murdoch, who’s currently trying to widen his media monopoly by buying sky outright, wants Jeremy in?
You think the Barclay brothers, with their offshore residencies, want him in?
You think Philip Green, who stole all the pensions from BHS workers and claims his wife owns Top Shop because she lives in Monaco, wants Corbyn in?
You think the politicians, both Labour and Tory, with their second homes and alcohol paid for by us, want him in?
You think Starbucks, paying near zero tax, wants him in?
You think bankers, with their multi million pound bonuses, want him in?

And do you think they don’t have contact with May? Or with the media? You honestly think that these millionaires and billionaires are the sort of people that go “ah well, easy come easy go, it was nice while it lasted”?? I wouldn’t be if my personal fortune was at risk, I’d be straight on the phone to Theresa May or Rupert Murdoch demanding this gets sorted immediately.

Because here’s a man, a politician that doesn’t lie and can’t lie. He could have said whatever would get him votes anytime he wanted but he hasn’t. He lives in a normal house like us and uses the bus just like us. He’s fought for justice and peace for nearly 40 years. He has no career ambitions. And his seat is untouchable. That’s one of the greatest testimonies. No one comes close to removing him from his constituency, election after election.

His Manifesto is fully costed. It all adds up, yes there’s some borrowing but that’s just to renationalise the railway, you know we already subsidise them and they make profit yeah? One more time… WE subsidise the railway companies and they walk away with a profit, just try and grasp the level of piss taking going on there.

Unlike the Tory manifesto with a £9 billion hole, their figures don’t even add up.

And it benefits all of us, young, old, working, disabled, everyone. The only people it hurts are the establishment, the rich, the bankers, the top 5% highest earners.

Good, screw them, it’s long overdue.

Corbyn can't lie except about his ties to the IRA and Hamas and his budget is fully costed :lol: he told us he wasn't going to borrow to renationalise everything he was going to issue bonds, he's an absolute crackpot,he thinks government guaranteed bonds are not a loan, lead the country :lol: he should be sectioned


Exactly the point of the post in one simple, screwed up retort. I doth my cap to thee sir!
