Who’d have thought a chipwrapper like The Sun would get so many “balanced” entries.
You can really tell that The Sun backed Starmer with gritted teeth just to maintain its streak of calling the winner
The most interesting thing was both the Mail and the Telegraph for the first time turning serious fire on Farage.
Mail online is full of labour ads today which is a bit mad considering who the Mail are.
A bit ironic that the colour chosen for negative for greens is… green…
Interesting visualisation. Do you have a link to the methodology they used to determine positive vs negative sentiment?
I’ve monitored the daily mail web site over the last 2 weeks. The UK political stories have been way down the page, often the 30th story.
So it is true that they tend to support the Tories, though with only faint praise, but they are not really pushing it.
So it is not just about who they support, but also whether they bother to say it much.
Straight up propaganda. We need to extend our TV broadcasting bias rules to mainstream print media.
How come the lib dems are not really mentioned? Like green is on there and reform too.
Isn’t the top half just a reverse of the bottom half?
Once again the Express leads the world in sticking it’s head in the sand.
Is The Times the least bias paper of them all then, or just can’t make up their mind?
Or how the left wing papers change from negative stories about the Conservatives to positive stories about Labour?
It’s almost like the papers change things to whatever suits them.
Oh wow mainstream media pouring massive coverage to the team that they think will win, that definitely doesn’t sound as corrupt as shit. And it definitely makes the mainstream media more legitimate when they do shady stuff like this.
The S*n basically decided “fuck this” after D-Day
For as interesting as this is all it really tells me is that every single new paper has its biases and agenda. Obviously something I already knew, but it would be nice to just have one that told the facts of the story and allowed people to form their own views on it.
All I get from the telegraph on my news app is anti Labour scaremongering. Not even trying to hide the fact they are the propaganda arm of the Tories
I like how after being almost exclusively negative (barring the 12th), the Independent decided to just throw in a casual positive story for the tories on the 29th June. Anybody know why?
Daily Mail and Express editors will be delighted as they can now go back to hammering Labour for every percieved issue over the next 5 years at least.
It’s worrying that they even thought the Tory’s campaign would be good to begin with…
Honestly, the only paper I trust is the Financial Times – they seem the most straight up, tell it like it is paper. I generally avoid all other news or newspapers….i have no idea if they have an affiliation but it feels like they deal in facts more than opinions…I could be wrong ha ha take it all with a pinch of salt I guess
I do find it interesting that the most “balanced” paper is i and this has been posted by theipaper.
People are too ready to accept what they are told. The ipaper is owned by the Daily Mail and run by a Lord, it is claiming to be politically neutral and this graphic would reinforce that fact, but ultimately who is to say that’s true or not? The “I” stands for independent and it was traditionally seen as an offshoot of that paper, which is notoriously pro-Tory. What metric has been used to measure what is positive, negative and neutral?
I’d suggest using something like [https://ground.news/](https://ground.news/) to check which side an article has been reported on rather than listening to a paper itself.
Colour blind nightmare. I have no idea what is going on here
“Kier Starmer will piss through your letterbox AND tax you for it!”
Front page of The Daily Mail today.
Thankfully it seems the dirtsheets have much less influence than they ever had. Fuck them!
Love “i” with their equal opportunities negativity.
i think you can see the same with left wing papers and Bidens implosion.
Only relevant for idiot boomers tbh. I’m astonished people are still voting Tory – boomer fantasies are some good shit.
Elections are a see-saw. Tories have been in for ages, people are sick of them, so it’s Labour’s turn again. In a decade, people will be sick of Labour, and they’ll vote the Tories back in. Repeat ad infinitum.
