You have The Guardian, Mirror, Independent and Morning Star for starters, all on the left.
The influence of the written press is dwarfed by the television media which is almost exclusively left wing.

Also the Times and the Observer.

Only the Telegraph, Mail and Sun are at all right in my opinion although I haven’t looked at the latter in years. Independent is now very far left btw (much like the Guardian)

Of those only the Telegraph has any pretension to proper journalism though....something that is more often found behind a paywall....The Spectator also being an obvious one.

Spiked, I suppose, is doing quite well as a free online media force on the right.....but it's mostly the neo liberal right of course.

What should happen next:

• Quietly revoke Article 50
• Tell Brexiters we left with no deal
• Send them blue passport covers
• Give them special long queues at airports/ports
• Charge them for roaming calls/data
• Give them food and medicine ration books
* Send each brexiter a union jack sticker
* HMRC to advise each brexiter of a 20% income tax increase to pay for their indulgence.

• Get on with life

What about our house garden pets children being flooded?

Once 'brexit is done' we can do all that rigmarole.

Spiked is unfortuntely not right wing although they have right wing contributors, It's the voice of traditional labour if anything (e.g. from when they actually gave a s*** about the native working class). They are very open about that to be fair. They still believe the NHS is a sacred cow for example and still bang on about social justice while complaining about free speech.

Agree about the Telegraph and the Spectator although the latter is obviously much better. They have proper conservatives like Dellingpole.

You really do live in your own bubble and need to get back into the real world.
You must stay awake at night dreaming up all this utter rubbish you post on here !!!

 


Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

How about you piss off to your beloved EU empire. Better do it now before Greta closes all the airports.

Yep, in the current political environment Spiked are probably considered more right wing than they actually are. There again on a free speech platform I'm fine with that.

Dellingpole is excellent and I'll just mention that the Iconoclast's magazine is a right wing 'must have'....well for social conservatives anyway.

You're quite mad but respect for coming on...even though I'm constantly having a go at you......Anyway it seems like your lefty mates have run off on mass again.

And it isn't even snowing yet....but I suppose it's always snowflake weather in lefty land.

If my eyes weren't deceiving me, Corbyn has snowflakes falling at his speech earlier.
Santa Corbyn will deliver nothing and steal you mince pies.

Corbyn will certainly require a miracle to win.

I wonder if he nationalises all his presents and tells the family that they all partly own them.

The gifts will be purchased by a civil service elf at top dollar and when you open them, they will be badly made, have no batteries and then you will find out later that they were paid for by your credit card.

All of these media are very small beer and in fact I have never heard of any of them and I doubt that an uncommitted voter would bother with them - not enough to make a difference anyway

Yep, but then again if you seek the truth you have to search for it.

The news is a commodity like everything else.

Crikey Stirling, 4 days since your post. Is that a record gap on this thread?
