UK Media
Why is most of it so right wing?
Does the media make people right wing or the other way around?

Re: UK Media
People with money own the media. Hope that answers your first question. The answer to the second is the first part of that question.Long slender neck wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 2:59 pm Why is most of it so right wing?

Re: UK Media
I've just seen BBC News described as 'fact based', as if this is something that should be optional for a news outlet.

Be interested to see what you come up with if you did "go on", since three of the five you listed are absolutely not left wing in the slightest.

Re: UK Media
Daily Mail Group is owned by a non dom Viscount, whatever the f*** that is.
The Russian who Boris gave a peerage owns the Evening Standard although I think thats fairly irrelevant nowadays.
GB News- who owns that? Apparently they are broadcasting ‘turbo cancer’ conspiracy theories and ..
Ofcom say thats fine, their chairman is Michael Grade who was a Tory peer.
Murdoch of course owns The Sun and Times. Used to own Sky- no idea who controls that now.

Re: UK Media
People with lots of money, want to keep their money or get even more money. So they buy the media outlets & persuade the Public, that altruism is bad. Simple folk should have no money, as they waste it & money should go to the very rich. Hence we have the obscene situation in the UK, where all Public Services have been pared to the bone by austerity, & the media are crying out for tax relief for the very rich.

Re: UK Media
But the right wing media doesn't make you left wing, presumably. Which kinda makes me think that you were probably right wing in the first place

Re: UK Media
A lot of the long running fanzines up and down the country have studenty lefty roots.
The Ear and Panda are not alone in that regard.

Re: UK Media
Panda is also notable for continuing that fine lefty publication tradition of using sh*t fonts.
