Left Leaning Newspapers
Many years ago I went with my wife to the hairdressers, whilst she was having hair done, I read the Newspapers. The one that stuck ot the time was the Daily Mirror. It was so full of bile and could be considered as sensible reporting.
I sometimes read the Guardian online, what a pile of rubbish this paper prints on anyone who is the right of centre.
Some of the comments that they print if made in person across the table in a pub would lead to a fracas.
So what is it with the left that they have reduce the discussion to the lowest common denominator?

Re: Left Leaning Newspapers
Did an exercise at school, our English master brought in all the London news papers.( Times. Telegraph, Express, Guardian, Daily Mirror, Herald, +???, he picked one topic which was common to all papers and we had to study them. Honestly, except for headlines, you would not have know they were all n the same subject.

Re: Left Leaning Newspapers
My last schoolmaster would say:
There are three types of newspapers.
1. For those who cannot read, or think for themselves
2. For those who can read, but not think for themselves.
3. For those who can both read and think for themselves.
Seventy years later it is still instructive to arrange the press accordingly.
