I am afraid our new media may slide into same hole that has trapped the US media, of being so afraid of accusations of bias that news reporting is reduced to recitations of what both sides said. Of course, this 'he said, she said' approach means that objective reporting falls by the wayside. Outrageous lies are reported as truth, with little analysis, simply because someone said them.
Thatcher started this process with her Broadcasting Act, mandating 'balance'. Yet another reason why I shall piss on her grave when the old cunt dies.
I never buy a left-leaning paper. I always read the Torygraph or Times. I need to know what the Enemy are saying.
However, even *I* cannot overcome my distaste enough to read the Daily Mail.
