Daily papers - L or R political bias?

No offense but if someone asked me that in Tesco I would move quickly away.

Why would you ask if it was Conservative or Labour?

Yes I realise it was a strange question but it's something that interests me.
I must be getting Altzheimers.
She didn't seem to mind.

ps it was because I'd never heard of the Daily Express.

Not heard of the Express?
So which newspapers have you heard of?

Gosh, I’d think that was a really rude question, if it wasn’t to somehow help in locating said newspaper.

I've never asked anyone that question and have never read the Daily Express but I do have online subscriptions to The Guardian and The Telegraph as I like to have a political balance, I also have The Washington Post for a US perspective. It's really interesting to see what's seen as important news and also to see the different balance of opinion.

Would knowing if it was either Conservative or Labour help you locate it?

It's like announcing "and in the blue corner we have ..... and in the red corner we have ".....

Hard to believe the Daily Express is unheard of

I would be confused if you asked me that as it doesn't relate to the location of said newspaper! ?
There is a lot of venom towards certain newspapers where people don't believe they reflect their own political leanings, so you might get some strong views expressed.

Fennel In all seriousness I think that most people who write on the News and Politics forum know the political influences of the English press and the owners.

Is there a liberal paper or a green party paper i wonder, i imagine the sun to be a loony party paper .
A very strange question imo.
Some posts/threads can be such fun.

No, The Sun is also a Tory Party paper - or is that the same as a loony party paper?

In the words of "Sir Humphrey" the Sun readers don't care who rules the country as long as she has big boobs.

I asked this partly because I'm concerned about the influence that the press have, and other media, on our choices. I include myself. We don't realise how much we're brainwashed. or don't want to realise it.
We can't get enough real facts to make rational decisions.

ps where has the News of the World gone?

its easier to list the leftish papers, which are The Guardian and the Daily Mirror. The rest are Tory.

Google it?

I meant the NotW paper. ?

The news of the world shut down when it was discovered they were hacking the phone of a murdered child.

You’ve never heard of the Express and don’t know what happened to NotW?

Why would you ask if it was Conservative or Labour?

Because the left wing papers are always on the left of the rack and the rightwing papers to the right.
The Independent should be somewhere in the middle.

Boom boom

Callistemon. Of the two places I can think of locally that sell papers, one has them stacked on a whirly stand. The other seems to go top to bottom. Scottish papers at the top, English ones beneath and local rags at the bottom.

Fennel the Express is a newspaper that has been around for a great many years, perhaps you have just forgotten about it.
We can’t remember everything.
I think if a person only reads one newspaper then they start to believe what a lot of it says.Probably best to read at least two with opposing views or none at all.
