    In fact they have never run the headlines you claim they run.

    Because facts are something you can't cope with.

    And who cares if they don't lean as far to the reicht as the Wail, it's a good thing to have a bit of balance in this country.
    Actually according to YouGov few papers lean as far left as the Guardian but as few people buy them (I wonder why? Maybe lefties don't read news?) it doesn't really matter.

    Whether or not many of the papers are actually right-wing, there is certainly a strong perception that they are and the circulation levels mean they have a lot more people getting their news every day from “right-wing” publications than “left-wing” ones.

    Our research and the National Readership Survey highlight the tricky media landscape for those on the left. As Owen Jones himself goes on to say in his video, the left needs to find a strategy that will cut through to the people despite the dominance of the “right-wing” press.

    I suggested they were strongly biased to the left. You asked me to prove it. I have.

    Two stories where their own news editor admitted they had a significant left bias and and where they used taxpayer funds to create propaganda films.

    Now you want me to prove that they are at the same level of Goebbels which is not what I said.

    Typical remoaner lies about reality aka project fear then when they are caught out start blathering on wait till we leave! Keep moving the goal posts.

    Most people correctly comprehend, that when a sentence ends with a '?' - it denotes the sentence being a question and it is NOT a statement or an accusation.

    Shame, I thought you had that comprehension too, must be too much fizz in the airport lounges...

    So their own news director admits they were biased but it didn't stop them.

    just for the haters

    Helen Boaden, the BBC's former news director, has admitted the corporation held a "deep liberal bias" in its coverage of immigation when she took up the role in 2004.

    Boaden, who is now the BBC's head of radio, made the candid admission to a BBC Trust review into the impartiality of the corporation's coverage of immigration, religion and the European Union.

    She told the review, published on Wednesday, that the BBC did not take the views of lobby group Migration Watch "as seriously as it might have" when she became director of news in September 2004.

    So their own news director admits they were biased but it didn't stop them.

    https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/99...ation-watch-uk

    “The video seems designed not to inform and stimulate discussion but to promote a particular opinion.”

    Following the withdrawal of the video, a BBC spokesman said: “Don't Hate the Debate is a series of films designed to help teachers enable classroom debates about topical issues.

    “Each film includes a real debate between four young people, all giving views on a topic.

    “While we believe the film did convey the broad elements of the immigration debate, we accept further efforts could have been made to involve contributors with a more diverse range of opinions, so we removed the video.”

    Lord Green of Deddington welcomed the decision, saying: “It is refreshing that Sir David Clementi saw immediately that the material was unacceptably biased and ordered its withdrawal and revision.”

    Yep, I agree. 5 years of hard brexit and these idiots will be begging to be let back into the EU again. They'll be referring to the EU years as the 'good old days'.

    If these idiots couldn't make a living whilst in the EU they will be well and truly fubbered when Brexit hits.
