British media 'most right-wing' in Europe, YouGov survey finds
The caveat being that only seven nations took part in the survey, but the findings are completely unsurprising for anyone with an ounce of intelligence who reviews the UK media.
Here are the right-wing papers:
- The Daily Express
- The Daily Mail
- The Daily Telegraph
- The Spectator
- The Sun
- The Times
- The Financial Times (centre of right)
- The Daily Star
- The Metro
- The London Evening Standard
Here are the centrist papers (well, one paper):
- The Independent
Here are the left-wing newspapers:
- The Mirror
- The Guardian
I have not included Scottish papers as I am not wholly sure without researching a bit. You can see by merely listing them that the left is far outnumbered by the right.
Here is what the Independent had to say of the YouGov survey:
The British press is regarded as the most "right-wing" and "biased" in Europe, according to new research by YouGov.
The company polled people from seven major European nations to find out how they perceived the press in their own countries. They found that 26 per cent of Britons viewed their newspapers, TV and radio as "too right-wing", more than in any of the other nations surveyed.
By contrast, only 17 per cent of British respondents felt their media was "too left-wing". The other countries in the survey were France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland.
