You’re so far right even Centrists look far left to you.

Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostIn the last week or so the Daily Mail have also abruptly switched from being staunch Brexiters to rabid Remainers.
They've really lost the plot - Most of their loyal readers are very vexed indeed at this bizarre development and are deserting them in droves for the Telegraph!
Apparently it's all due to the previous editor, Paul Dacre, resigning and the new editor being henpecked and threatened by his Remainer wife into changing their editorial stance.

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostHas anyone noticed that both the Guardian and the Daily Mail have been reporting the same stories recently, in some cases nearly word for word?
(Well, they do occasionally sell stories to each other but recently there has been more and more of this)

Originally posted by meridian View PostEvidence of your assertion? They’ve provided their methodology, whereas yours may simply be a reflection of right-wing bias (where anything compared to your bias is “left”, and anything slightly left of centre is perceived as being further left).
There’s also a possibility that their markers for left and right are based on their own (American) interpretations. Not sure how this would reflect in the UK

Or alternatively, some spotty 17 year old on work experience at the Daily Mail copied it from the Guardian.

Originally posted by TwoWolves View PostI treat all news sources with the suspicious contempt they deserve.
Even that chart is skewed, the Economist and Guardian are far more left than it suggests, for example.
Best just to talk about IT, at least until we are all replaced by cheap labour from abroad.
