I agree that it is frightening and worrying how much influence the (generally) right wing press has. Bloody Murdoch and his phone tapping employees didn't suffer too badly with David Cameron in charge did they? For the sake of fairness, it is not the fact that the vociferous press is right wing that bothers me, it is the fact that they have such an influence on people's thinking, and this would be wrong whichever side of the political field this was coming from. I have made a stand though and cancelled Sky, and when the nice young man from the retention team asked me why I was cancelling, I told him it was because his employer was a crook and I was no longer prepared to put any money in his pocket. Polite titter from him and no more calls from Sky!
