Shock! Horror!

[King Henry V]

No one buys newspapers to give them a real view of the world,, which is why no newspaper has a neutral stance. People buy newspapers so that their view of the world is confirmed to them in black and white.

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Which is why I buy the Torygraph. However, when a newspaper presents actual facts, even the Mail, it is usually true.

Remember the "4/5 immigrants don't contribute"story?

Well they admitted that there was still a net condribution and that the population demographic of immigrants was broadly similar to those already living in the UK.

It was just the way they said it.

.... if they are "actual facts" then they're true, period. But I must admit if the Mail printed "1+1=2" I'd be looking for the catch somewhere.....

I don’t watch it very often but it is on all day on cable and I would imagine satellite but I only have cable.

It's on cable, both normal bbc, and bbc America. I watch it on occasion if i want to get pissed off. But most of the shows no, on rarity I'll watch the stand up, but never more then 5 minutes. The jokes get old, little varity and they always center around USA bashing.

ditto --> anyone can make a fact, its about proving it (this isnt necessarily towards the 4/5 immigrants thing, just in general)

I only read the paper for the sports news anyway --> however i agree that people tend to buy a paper that confirms their views rather than contradicts them --> as a result papers are almost forced to take a political stance to attract readers

Television, internet?

Are these two posts related?

Just seems weird. I don't even watch regular news so I'm surprised people have watched enough foreign news to know about it.

BBC executives admitted the corporation is dominated by homosexuals

The horror..

Why does this even matter.. are gays only allowed one political position?
