While I can see what you mean, he's more "Blackadder the Third throwing stealth insults at Prince George" than "saying something pretty clearly so other people can make up their own meanings"

Why people are being constantly conned,

https://themediafund.org/news/daily-...eliable-paper/

Daily Mail: Most Unreliable Paper For 3rd Year In A Row

As analysed by Tabloid Corrections website, Rothermere’s Daily Mail has again received the most sanctions from the press regulator, IPSO.

Interestingly, the supposed “paper of record”, Murdoch’s Times comes in 2nd place in the list with The Sun Close behind.

The sanctions imposed by IPSO clearly don’t add up to sufficient disincentive for pumping out perpetual disinformation.

The failure to nail down an improvement in quality, via standards such as those outlined in “Leveson 2”, doesn’t bode well for a reversal in the ongoing lack of faith exhibited by the general public towards corporate media. The UK press is the least trusted of 33 nations in Europe.

People increasingly get their news and analysis elsewhere, though many of those sources aren’t exactly tip-top for reliability either. It hardly bodes well for news consumption that The Mail’s online counterpart is the most widely read English language news-source on the planet.

Rather than reflect and improve on their practice, establishment journalists seem more likely to attack the independent sector, as our next story demonstrates.

it's very difficult to find reliable news that is not tainted by politics from one side or another. I object to paying a bbc license fee now, because their news is dreadful, their website is dreadful and their election show with a constantly angry Andrew Neil was unwatchable

I think BBC news is very good. I like how they try and look at issues in an unbalanced way, and give both sides, whereas so many media organisations now have to have a point of view.

For me personally the news coverage is one of a small number of things that justifies the licence fee the most. I don't watch much on the BBC anymore. No interest in Strictly, singing shows and all that.

Leveson 2 is desperately needed, probably partly why the bias media was so against Labour

BBC had to constantly explain so-called "gaffes" that favoured the tories over and over again all election cycle. Their own staff reporting concerns over their trustworthiness.

Meanwhile

Charities helping the most vulnerable in society have reported an increase in support after the Conservative victory in the general election.

Shelter, Refuge, the Trussell Trust and the Biscuit Fund have all confirmed they have seen a sharp increase in donations and/or registered supporters as a result of the election outcome

I wonder why

Yes the BBC had a massive Team
but I had all 4 broadcast on
with subtitles.
On 4 HD TV's

The Best was Ch4HD Alternate Election
with a Live Audience
and so many Great Guests.

What kind of moron would wish someone a horrible death and claim they want to be a doctor ? I wouldn't want her anywhere near me,as much as I don't like Corbyn I would never wish a thing like that on him,they really don't do their cause any good.

So you blame the Tories for all the problens in the UK, yet you can't wait for Boris to fail even though that would mean all the problems would continue....and you are not the only one who is displaying this attitude, there are posts saying they want people to SUFFER because they voted for him. It means you/they don't really care about the ills in our society at all; just about winning.
The fake compassion is so transparent.

So is the fact that the conservatives are in power and people are actually dying under their policies but what can we do?
