The Mirror's not exactly a right-wing paper though, is it?

Daily Mail is Tory and I thought that the Mirror was Labour or so I've always thought.

Not too sure on the others though and I may well be wrong on the two above!!! ๐Ÿ˜•

the mirror has right wing tendencies but is anti sun so they are backing labour for the election

Whatever happened to the independence of the press? I really don't understand why papers choose, or are allowed to back a certain party....

shred-
because powerful greedy men want to make sure they can secure more power and more money

so they buy papers/ tv networks and herd the sheep into thinking the same as them so they vote for the politicians they already have in their pockets and so on........

At a guess-
Mirror - labour
Sun - tory
Mail - ukip
Telegraph - tory
Times - tory
Independent - no one knows, as no one reads it.
Guardian - libdem/lab/green

Shread - well they're just about all [i]owned[/i] by someone, and that someone has political views and preferences...

/edit - just like kimbers said.

A fella I work with bring the Telegraph in with him every day and the bias on the headline is eye opening.

/edit edit - the link that allthepies posted is also way out of date. The Sun has since proclaimed support for Cameroon. Nothing like backing the horse whose in front ๐Ÿ™„

It's only bias if you disagree with it. Otherwise it's just the story...
