there is a school of thought that says the tories are trying to lose this election to leave Labour to deal with Brexit, it wouldn't surprise me.
I don't know. The Ba'ath party seem pretty good. People say they're quite right wing but I honk they're only slightly eight of centre.
You do have to wonder. Going after pensioners, a key tory demographic. And weird things that are really non issues like bringing back fox hunting and reversing the ban on ivory trading.there is a school of thought that says the tories are trying to lose this election to leave Labour to deal with Brexit, it wouldn't surprise me.

Latest polls put Corbyn on the same share of the vote as Blair when he won his last election. If this campaign was any longer and / or we had a balanced media May could have been in big trouble.

University of Northumbria have been keeping track and it doesn't seem to be particularly balanced.View attachment 7499
Their findings are backed up by hard data that can be peer reviewed. Your (admittedly terrible) experiences are subjective.Past experience teaches me that they are probably Labour voters!

Labour always has problems getting a positive message across in the right leaning press. TV is fairly neutral I think but newspapers certainly not. Mirror Labour, guardian liberal, independent neutral but centre. The rest right/Tory (times, telegraph, mail, express, sun)

Here's what I found with a quack google. Haven't read it all as I'm at work but it seems to convey broadly the same messageWhere's the study? Would bee keen to have a look. Can't find it through google.
I know for the long time a lot of people (including the media) have been quite critical of Corbyn, but if the guy doesn't even have control of his own party, then how could he lead the country? It's probably representative in that sense. However, I don't agree that others should escape less criticism.
It seems recently a lot of the left wing papers are very much encouraging of him.

Probably because that stopped publication last March.It has the I, but not the actual full format Independent in there.

I think it's looking at print media. The Independent moved to online only last year. If you are going to include online then you could be getting things from all manor of crazy sources.The Independent?
That is in full publication, supporting Corbyn and bashing May. Yet no inclusion on the newspaper study.
Some people would still argue that they're right.Tory next policy will be the re-establishment of workhouses

Final print edition of the Independent after 30 years but ‘our mission endures’ – as does i and the website – Press GazetteThat is in full publication, supporting Corbyn and bashing May. Yet no inclusion on the newspaper study.
My degree was in politics and even I'm getting sick of it.
Independent ranks 8th in online news sources in the UK. Problem is number 1 is the BBC with a 35% of all page views from the entire top 100 combined. The drop off after the top 5 is huge:Regardless, The Independent is one of the most read media outlets in the country.
You know, on face value that looks like a ridiculous statement Clint, but looking at how they are handling this election campaign it certainly looks as if they are doing all they can not to win it.
Quite staggering really.

And he'd still lose!The Tories are having a terrible campaign. A semi-competent opposition would be making mincemeat of them. Ed Miliband would be 10 points ahead right now.
It wouldn't be consistent to include it, and would be shockingly bad research practice.Regardless, The Independent is one of the most read media outlets in the country.
It might be excluded from the study as it 'technically' isn't printed any more, but if you want to get a full picture of media bias you would be silly not to include it.

Not necessarily.You're voting Labour aren't you?
Not necessarily.
I do know what to do with academic research, and I do know you need a constant methodology rather than picking and choosing to distort...
Nope.Exactly. An example of that would be choosing printed new outlets over online ones, especially when the biggest supporter of Corbyn is now an online publication.
Nope.
If your research was what online response was, then you'd do that.
You can't arbitrarily add in one online publication.
There are also very good reasons to do with fixity and the like why you may wish to separate them.
I'mn afraid the only one showing bias here is you, looking for a conspiracy. In itself this is interesting, and would make for a worthwhile qualitative analysis
