MSM you are not getting the full picture

Nothing on MSM about Emily Thornberry at hustings saying "I HATE THE SNP IHATE THE SNP they are tories wrapped as nationalists" Hmmm Tories ? So thats why the Labour party were aping SNP policies at the election? Policies already in place in Scotland .Does she hate the SNP party? The SNP membership (over 150 thousand) or the people who voted for SNP 8o% of Scottish seats .Or is it sour grapes that SNP have managed to unseat labour in an area they felt they were entitled to?
Maybe IF labour had opposed the tories instead of enabling them by abstaining for 10 years they could have clawed back some support north AND south of the border .We'll never know but Ms Thornberry's bile and obvious hatred from her expression will have alienated people who were lending their vote to SNP ,in fact I know a few who now say they will never vote labour again .

Lemon Labour's polices are transformative not old fashioned. Labour polices are regarded mainstream in Scandinavian countries they are doing very well. The Green Industrial Revolution to tackle climate change. What is Johnson doing about this? Lots of young joined Labour because of Jeremy Corbyn thousands attended the rallies up and down the country.

Though the power the press have to influence is well known.
And Brexit at this time played a part too, people believing Johnson ha. There was postal vote fraud not surprised.

I am just showing the corruption in our press MSM

And what about the selling off of our NHS Branson paid no tax on 2 billion NHS deals

Johnson claims privatisation in the NHS isn’t happening but the Tories have opened the door for profiteers to rip us all off.

This outsourcing has to end — the NHS should begin the process of in-sourcing these services instead

Richard Branson's Virgin Healthcare has paid no tax on £2billion NHS deals.

Very well said Blinko And For one thing, shouldn't critical appraisal of newspaper articles be included somewhere in the school curriculum Agree.

And Well Said Greeneyedgirl

Thank you for sharing this, Grany. It is a thorough piece on the power of the press systematically to present a distorted picture. The press in this country resents and fights back when this power is brought into question or disrepute.

Look at Levinson. How many of those recommendations have actually been implemented?

It is a national disgrace. I am not at all sure what can be done to educate us all on just how sceptical we need to be when reading anything delivered by the British press.

For one thing, shouldn't critical appraisal of newspaper articles be included somewhere in the school curriculum.

Labour lost the election because of ‘The Sun’

McClusky said yesterday labour lost the election because of
Brexit.

Grany you would do better to concentrate on the real reasons that Corbyn lost the GE so badly for Labour.
Voters don’t want either him or his brand of old fashioned socialism.If R Long Bailey is a mirror image of him that she will be also roundly defeated at the next GE in five years.
Many LP members still don’t get it.

I try and access world news these days because of this kind of reporting, and for a wider picture of what is happening.
It is well known that the press influence elections, just look how party leaders have sucked up to the Sun.
Our Press is infamous abroad, and this report just shows the British Press for what it is.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention Grany.

Because no one is bothered enough about truth, maybe?
