Anna B 1,365 #748 Posted November 28, 2019 3 hours ago, ECCOnoob said: Oh for goodness sake my comments where about so called bias between the number of right and left leaning publications. This is nothing to do with the numbers of copies are sold and distributed. The argument boils down to the fact there are several publications which are right leaning and several other publications which are left leaning. If the right-leaning ones happen to have more readers which leads to increase circulation number than that is sod all to do with a minipulated bias and far more about the actual political choices of the majority of the nation. Left clearly doesn't sell as much as right and therefore their distribution is smaller. If the wider population suddenly stopped reading the Sun and all switch to the Daily Mirror then the opposite effect will apply. This time 10 full pages of anti-Corbyn propaganda in today's Mail including the front page. On top of that there is also the entire Leader (page 18) and an anti-Corbyn article from collumnist Sarah Vine, wife of Tory Michael Gove., and snide little insults slipped into other artiicles and letters page. Once again, nothing about Prime Minister Boris Johnson at all. Can you tell me of any newspaper that is filling it's pages with anti- Johnson stories, nevermind a publication with a readership upward of a million+ readers? Thought not. . . No media bias?

Baron99 771 #749 Posted November 28, 2019 So Labour have upped the tree planting anti by the political parties by 'claiming' they would plant TWO BILLION trees in England, (note only England) by 2040 if they win the general election. My first thought is why do politicians need to win elections in order to plant trees? As Friends of the Earth point out, this is 270,000 trees per day, every day? My second thought is, was it Diane Abbott who has come up with the 2 billion trees figure & not thought it through again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

As for anti Tory stories, perhaps you missed this one: Conservative election candidate suspended over allegations she used 'anti-Muslim language' just hours after PM Boris Johnson apologised for the hurt caused by Islamophobia in his party https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7732763/Conservative-election-candidate-suspended-allegations-used-anti-Muslim-language.html And if you look at the Mirror, nobody sticks the knife into Boris as much as them. Same with May, they really laid into her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

RJRB 677 #754 Posted November 28, 2019 Has Cummings locked up and gagged all the leading Tory Brexiteer’s so that he can concentrate on controlling Boris. Where are Gove,Rees Mogg,Liam Fox.? The Tory party has become a one man show ,totally reliant on the bluff charm of Boris to con enough people to believe that there is a golden future under his leadership. This morning he is saying that the years of austerity were unnecessary! Can anybody really believe that he will reverse all the damage caused to our Health service,policing ,Schools any time soon.

It has the biggest circulation of all the newspapers, and a lot of readers still regard it as a proper newspaper that doesn't lie (yes, really, you want to talk to some of them.) They quote it's lies directly as justification for not voting Labour. There are far more Tory owned newspapers rubbishing Labour, than there are left leaning newspapers supporting him, and their circulation is considerably larger. 2 minutes ago, RJRB said: Has Cummings locked up and gagged all the leading Tory Brexiteer’s so that he can concentrate on controlling Boris.

It is not reasonable or sensible to take a paper that is largely different from others and cast findings from that to all other papers. That is a funadmental error in critical thinking on your part. It is reasonable to say that the Mail has a large influence and that influence is wrong. But that doesn't let you claim that it applies to all papers.
