Why would a lifelong Labour voter be reading the RW press?
I don’t know why ANYONE would read, and especially buy into the likes of the Sun and the Daily Mail. But so, so many do. And completely fail to see the bias that is staring them in the face. It’s massively depressing to me, that otherwise decent people become tainted by the vitriol.
My in laws, in a slight non stereotypical shocker, are really nice, gentle, Christian folk. But they buy the Daily Mail, believe the stuff that’s presented as fact, and take it personally when anyone dare suggest that that rag is an evil, hate filled, xenophobic mouthpiece of Russian billionaires that once ran stories supporting Hitler. Don’t ask me how I know this… 🙄
My point I suppose, is that lots of people don’t even realise how much they are being influenced by the drivel that they read.
