You're basically TELLING me that my opinion should be that the UK press is fine, because Wikipedia says so  . Thankfully I use my own brain to make decisions rather than wiki pages, so I'm comfortable maintaining my position that the UK press is a heaving pile of toxic trash, written by trash journalists and slobbered over by a trash readership. Might edit the wiki and stick that in there.

i am pointing out a fact that our press is regulated as is radio and tv and most of social media is not
our press have exposed many things over the years. no one forces anyone to buy a paper or look at the website.
