    I'm not excluding the TV:

    BBC - 32%
    ITV - 23%
    C4 - 10%
    Sky - 8.5%
    C5 - 6%

    So there's a hefty chunk there that are non-left wing - nearly 15% are controlled by the same people who control the newspapers.

    Who specifically do you think controls the media?

        WOT! They don't plan to abolish the Armed Services! I've been lied to by the press. I am shocked, I tell you, shocked!
        My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.

          The people who have a vested interest in the media outlets being successful and portraying the Metropolitan Elite interests as the centre ground.

            I don't write it, or even read it. I just cut and paste it.

              Make securing a fair global agreement to tackle climate change the main foreign policy priority because of its central role in driving civil war and involuntary migration.
              Support democratisation of the UN through abolishing the permanent seats on the Security Council.
              Scrap all nuclear weapons, including Trident and any proposed replacement.
              Halt all military cooperation with, and sales of arms to, countries involved in internal repression.
              Write off and write down unpayable debt, avoid paternalistic aid, and secure the rights of indigenous First Nation peoples.
              Increase the overseas aid budget from 0.7% to 1% of GDP.
              Promote fair trade and effective regulation of UK companies operating abroad.
              So that's why NB has left Oz....

              Wow, does that mean that the Normans, Angles, Saxons, Jutes et al will be screwed? The Greens might pick up a few votes in Cornwall then

                  Only as a percentage of GDP. Which will be fecked if they're in charge. So it's probably a sly commitment to reduce the actual amount spent. Further proof of the duplicity of politicians.

                      Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                      No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.
