To think the right wing tabloids have gone too far?

[Mistigri]

Reactions of the Mail, Express and Sun to yesterday's court decision on brexit:

The Mail's front page has a picture of the three high court judges with the headline "Enemies of the people". One judge is criticised for being "openly gay".

The Express says this is the UK's greatest crisis since the Second World War.

The Sun (proprietor: R Murdoch) takes to task the "foreign elites" who brought the case. Because their readers are less likely to approve of attacks on white pensioners (the other claimant), they focus their attack on the non-white woman claimant.

The Mail is the most problematic IMO; attacking the judiciary is another step on the road to facism.

How can we have any reasonable political debate in this environment?

Absolutely agree shovetheholly. They point out the occasional time when they have revealed something worthwhile and have acted as a proper check on power to justify not being independently regulate. Much more has been revealed by TV journalists, who are extensively regulated. The tabloid press is no more than a comic. The Daily Mail is virtually the National Enquirer. The problem is that it still passes itself off as a newspaper, so people use it as a newspaper.

The Mail and express were absolutely shocking and an affront to democracy, the very thing they wanted to campaign for, proving that in fact this whole exercise has been about one thing.

Power.

Look at Trump in the US and his comments about setting up Trump TV. This is to provide him with win-win. Either he wins as president or he comes out of the race with his own mob of very angry confused people who he can whip into a fury and disrupt the way the country is governed.

Some parts of the media don't want an informed audience. They want a swayable audience under their influence. I don't think the Daily Mail was unaware of how incendiary their initial front page was, I think it was something they assumed they'd need to drop once it had sent out a signal to the most extreme.

I agree with OP but think the Telegraph should be added to the list – they are already mentioning that some of the Supreme Court Judges have links with EU, allegedly.

It is not freedom of the press to tell lies (Hillborough) – there is nothing in the judgement that prevents the UK from leaving the EU. Any paper that says the opposite is lying.

Parliament controlling Judges! Stalin had to shoot people to get that result.

Prince Harry tries to call out the Press on their racism and sexism and the Mail deploys a clickbait headline that it confirms there is a relationship, completely ignores in the copy the comments on the racism and sexism but highlights that the girlfriend was frequently seen visiting London wearing "African jewellery". I take that as an assertion of their right to be as racist and sexist as they like........
