Here’s all you need to know Strolls.
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/unity-news-network/
Looks like Goldie plays in the same cyberspace as Kiwi.
Who checks the bias of media bias?
All these sites seem to be either left or right. Middle is no longer fashionable. As I said to Strolls, I'd trust the Independent (and Observer) no more than the Guardian. They have an angle, just as the Daily Mail does.
WIKI:
The Columbia Journalism Review describes Media Bias/Fact Check as an amateur attempt at categorizing media bias and Van Zandt as an "armchair media analyst."[2] Van Zandt describes himself as someone with "more than 20 years as an arm chair researcher on media bias and its role in political influence."[3] The Poynter Institute notes, "Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific."[4]
Did you not know?
Anything anyone says from a position of the left or liberal elite HAS to be correct!!
Anything else, from whatever source MUST be wrong and is from a dubious perspective.
Shocking post glorifying the murder of an innocent photographer ......shame on you and your adopted country sir
You either believe what the policeman says, or you don't. Or are you saying the site has made up the whole quote?
Apologies for the offence but seriously we can’t hang on every injustice the world serves up plus we don’t do anything about it anyway
We are all self obsessed and that’s the stark truth of it and I believe honesty is the best policy
The base is we are conditioned to look after our family and that’s about it. I moved to France for exactly the same reason ... a better life for my lads and guess what I am very proud of that
It’s gives my lads s break from the English lifestyle and let’s face it it’s no longer enjoyable We may all be well off enough compared to the poverty and lifestyles I have seen worldwide but sorry we have got it all wrong now in the U.K. and the clock is ticking so I say do something about it
I simply have no time for what goes on in the overall world nowadays but I treat everyone I meet on a daily basis with the upmost of respect
If bad news arrives seriously what can a load of old hits do about it from a football forum?
I totally respect what you do Staines however and that albeit from a long distance earns you hero worship from a burnt our cynical old **** like me .
I never knew you were so literal M.
Show me the proof that Boris Johnson isn’t an angel sent by God to show us the error of our ways.
At last someone does a fact check for themselves.
It’s not scientific, it may be amateur. but it doesn’t seem biased, unlike Unity News Network, which is unashamedly so.

What was the name of the policeman? Given that I don't believe that what the unnamed policeman is purported to have said is actually true, yes I think the site has made it up. Do you not think that this stuff would be all over every media outlet if it was real?
OK I'll bite, none of what you say accounts for the sheer hatred of the EU by some posters on here. Of course like all big organisations there are errors and mistakes made. That is inevitable, but this problem the leavers have with sovereignty is unique across Europe. Your points are opinions of the political process over the last forty years. As leavers keep telling us we are one of the largest economies in the world. How do you think that came about? Perhaps access to the largest free market area in the world might just have helped? Even a little bit? The EU must be developed and improved that's a given, but leaving is just causing unnecessary harm and suffering on our country for no good reason. All the good things that are going to happen that we were told in 2016 have now become us having to take some knocks and periods of tough times in order to make it through the next few years. It really is a complete and utter debacle that will hit the poorest and weak the hardest I just hope that we can stop this nonsense at the last minute!
