Hmmmmm - not sure that’s a particularly meaningful bit of work.
It’s a survey of public perception on stories. The public are asked if they think stories are too right or too left wing.
Hardly scientific.
Okay can go through bimbos points which were rancidly unserious anyway. Paper circulation is falling - but the most red papers Sun, Mail are both radibly right wing. The mail's website is one of the most read in the country and the most of any newspaper. Newspapers still set the agendas. So there is that.
Oh the sun owned by Murdoch who also owns the times, the mail and telegraph owned by non Dom right wing billionaires too.
The Spectator has the new statesmen as a rival. Okay, fair point. What he omits is the spectator has double the circulation. The current Chancellor was best man at Number 10s press secretary and the speccy's PolEds wedding. Andrew Neil their chairman was the BBC's flagship political heavyweight now setting up Fox News. Oh, and their former editor is in number 10.
Spiked is evened out by Novara as contraversial talkshow guests. The Canary is a sewer.
Channel 4 news perhaps is left wing. But to say the broadcast media as a whole is left wing is just nonsense too. The BBC's agenda is set by the papers which are leaning right. Their PolEds are usually Tories - Mr Neil's background discussed. Nick Robinson was president of his universities Tory society. ITV I don't know and Sky is against owned by Mr Murdoch so let's get real there.
Then we get Breitbart UK, UnHerd, Guido fucking Fawkes, Quilliam etc - all stuffed with people who have an oversized influence on uk politics and plenty of screen time on our news and current affairs programmes
The BBC's board is Tory central these days, sadly.

LBC is as left wing as you can get. On Saturday they were out and out pro SNP/Welsh Labour. They spent hours slating BoJo.
With talk radio being their opposite.
However Obingo is one of the worlds biggest cunts.
Haha that's a total nonsense as well. JHB, Iain Dale, Nick Ferrari all rampant right wingers. JoB probably the only left winger on LBC.
There is no section of the British press/broadcast/media which isn't largely right wing. Except the BBC as a "neutral" institution. To deny it is to be incredibly unserious.
JHB is on talk radio.
Iain Dale a centrists.
O bingo a cunt enough to cancel out Ferrari.
And you’re Wrong the television broadcast media is predominantly left wing by a massive % .
Look people have claimed “Murdoch “ etc without reference to the facts.

Surely all you right wingers must be happy with so many prominent people repeating your views on tv, radio, and in the papers? Why be so unhappy about the much smaller proportion of left wingers?

I don't think anywhere "as left wing as you can get" would have Nick Ferrari, Nigel Farage, the Quilliam guy, plus regular appearances by people like Douglas Murray. LBC is an odd duck for sure.
But even the right wing (and people who claim not to be right wing but are in lockstep with them) have reasons to slate Johnson these days.

Yes Farage who who lost his job from LBC because of his opinion about BLM iirc
Katie Hopkins was also a presenter at one point.
The mad Commie

Correct, both sacked for their loon behaviour. Farage's leaving circumstances was particularly funny.
I concede on Ferrari but he supports Leicester City so cut him some slack

Unserious about what how wrong you are ? Seriously;
Wrong radio station just ignored. Murdoch thing just ignored.
They’re are millions of centrists in the Conservative party. He isn’t right wing at all.

Indeed I should have said voters in the party.

You reckon he’s about to bottle brexit and knows the bell is tolling?
He could have said that he didn't know; or said that the figure he was last given was x, but that may have changed; but always he goes with the lie, because he holds you all in complete contempt.

It's not as if he can anyway it's pathological

I love the spin in the headline on the Torygraph:
Johnson plans mass testing of lorry drivers to reopen ports.
It's such an obvious lie; everyone knows from experience that the bumblecunt is incapable of planning. What the headline should actually say is:
Johnson told by EU, that ports won't reopen, until all lorry drivers are tested.

I don't think his heart is in this. I know it's easy just to call him a cunt but from a personal point of view this has to have been a pretty horrendous year for him, and I suspect if any of us had had covid as bad as he did we'd have taken a lot longer off work.
Where it's harder to feel sorry for him is that he's spent his life comparing himself to Churchill - a man whose time in Number 10 was famously free of stress or tough decisions.

Johnson has always wanted to be the Prime Minister, and have been the Prime Minister, but has absolutely no interest in actually being the Prime Minister.

No interest in being PM during a crisis is I think a better way of putting it.
Tory MP suggests using possible 'no-deal' food shortages to force Ireland to drop the backstop
...
Priti Patel has told the paper that these warnings should have been used as leverage against Ireland to encourage them to drop the backstop.
“This paper appears to show the government were well aware Ireland will face significant issues in a no-deal scenario. Why hasn’t this point been pressed home during negotiations? There is still time to go back to Brussels and get a better deal.”
Patel resigned as International Development Secretary last November after holding 12 meetings with Israeli groups and officials outside the proper protocol.
She said on the beeb this morning that although she sanctioned the offending tweet she did not write it.
Adding she had people that ofter did her twitter tweets.
Another no lose. Judges stop the trial for contempt and she plays the Tory press gallery into a fever about lefty judges sticking up for people smugglers.
Barely any consequence for any of them these days.
She said on the beeb this morning that although she sanctioned the offending tweet she did not write it.
Adding she had people that ofter did her twitter tweets.
Well that's ok then.
Blame the civil service in the bullying saga and don't properly apologise. Now blame her aides and don't apologise at all
What an appalling person, certainly not fit to hold one of the great offices of state

A few more lorries on the M20 now than the 174 that Johnson mentioned last night
Heard on the radio that there is about £10m worth of fish and shellfish in amongst that lot headed for the main markets in France and Spain!!!

Being an appalling person is a positive boon in the Home Secretary job, given the people who have held that august position down the years.
However, Patel is a particularly malicious individual and not terribly bright either based on all the evidence. And that's before we get to her previous ejection from a Cabinet post.
It's your Twitter account, it's got your name on it. Own it.

I see the Sikh community in Gravesend has managed to organize the delivery of 800 hot meals for stranded lorry drivers. Much better organized than the shower in charge of the Country.

That's good of them.
Though as of a few minutes ago
The leader of Kent County Council says there are almost 3,000 lorries being held in Kent waiting to cross the English Channel. Roger Gough told the BBC 2,220 vehicles are now at Manston and 632 are still being held on the M20.
