The front page of the daily mail is at it again. Not reporting the news but race baiting and causing upset and division.

EXCLUSIVE Migrant on disability benefits housed in retirement home with his family vows to use human rights to fight eviction... unless they are found a bigger home

this is not news. Let alone top-of-the-morning headline news. This is rich newspaper owners trying to manipulate the population into hating each other.

why do we stand for it? Its propaganda designed to make reform and riots seem inevitable. It’s literally a check box of things to make them angry. What happened to proper investigative journalism targeting corruption of the rich and powerful?

AIBU to think that this is not news but manipulation to make us angry?

Yes it will get clicks either way but lets discuss why its a problem too.

my grandparent who fought the nazis would be hella ashamed if I let some rightwing rag brainwash me into voting for one. Im sure yours would be too.

but where are people actually saying, well hang on a second, can’t newspapers stick to reporting news instead taking money from political parties to run articles designed to get them votes?

Because it gets clicks. Including yours and people on this thread. Good work.

There appears to be a campaign at work to ensure our next government is right wing.
