    Yeah I’m sorry but if you’re getting your media from Murdoch then that’s on you. The fact that him and his publications are essentially propaganda for the conservative party is public knowledge. If you haven’t absorbed that from the ether then you’re a particularly unaware person.

      That is precisely my point. There are plenty who do not have that understanding. Old people especially do not have a clue about alternative media sources. The Tory premise is to rely on ignorance. This is why they tell so many lies in PMQs.

      British media was something that the world relied on for an honest opinion with honest facts. Not everyone has caught onto the corrupt that is in it presently. To stand and say well they should know better is just plain crass. We need media reform, but until we get it then we will have people who are swayed by fake news.
