Papers are biased towards brexit

 

I'll ask you again?

Who are the Washington Post? Why would we care what they think?

As regards the papers being biased.. I'm glad about that because the BBC, ITV and other media outlets are biased towards remain.

 

Some of the broadsheets on the left and right clearly do not support leaving the EU.

So which media outlets are you referring to?

 

The sun, daily mail, the express and the telegraph (basically the bad Ones)

 

The BBC is definitely not biased towards remain. If you see facts as "being biased to the remain side" then you perhaps should vote remain

 

That is not the media per se. If that is all you can muster the media clearly is not biased towards leaving the EU.

 

A better owner than Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch only wants out because he can control our government to make him richer but not the Eu. The rich people wanting out only do so because they can't influence the Eu like they can with our government.

News-watch monitor the media.

The case for leaving the EU has never been put by the BBC in a programme wholly dedicated to the ‘out’ case.

News-watch leans heavily towards the right . As somebody whose views sit elsewhere on
the political compass I find myself feeling that programmes are being weighted towards remain. Very clearly weighted, panels routinely contain multiple supporters of remain who are there to stifle meaningful debate.

 

Show us the proof that Murdoch wants this? Being an Australian I doubt he's bothered either way. But I would like to see you back this up.

 

He is forcing the tories to cut the BBC budget so that as it worsens people take out sky subscriptions/ makes sky look better compared to cost of licence fee.

He is fighting for more press deregulation so that the media can get away with being irresponsible such as phone hackings and other invasions of privacy.

The fact that phone hacking from the news of the world (owned by him) resulted in so many people getting off scot-free.

The man is a total ****er and Fox news highlights this as the lunatic views represented on there is nothing short of insane.

 

So where is the proof in all this trying to get the politicians in his back pocket?
Offering people more than the drudge we used to watch on BBC and ITV is a viewers choice. I bet you've got sky or virgin (which basically streams sky.
You've been asked countless times to back up these rumours with facts, not school yard gossip.

 

Because the media is what wins an election it can make parties and politics desirable or unelectable. The media stopped milliband winning last year as they helped to brand him as unelectable.

 

It works two ways.
