To love the Mail and The Sun?

Because they are covering this and this and this? (No links to either paper, or dodgy links, just background info on a government website, Twitter and a Mumsnet thread).

The petition is one of the most important going for 51% of the UK population. I can’t believe that women are having to petition to get consulted, but that’s 2018 for you. If the Mail and the Sun are going to cover it so it gets more visibility then that’s a good thing, IMO.

Julie Bindel explained the article brilliantly on Sky News this morning: link.

Please do.

My grandparents used to subscribe to the Mail and I gave up reading it when I visited as the journalism annoyed me. I started reading the Mail Online a few months back as a reaction to Stop Funding Hate.

I think nearly all of the papers (websites) have a mix of good and bad journalists it's just the ratio that varies.

I find the Guardian increasingly hypocritical and hard to read. It has as much hate as the Mail it's just directed at different groups. The way they suppress or mispresent news that doesn't fit their agenda such as sitting on several reports about the abuse in charities is terrible. www.opendemocracy.net/transformation/leslie-francis/silencing-of-difficult-women

The BBC is really bad for censoring news that doesn't fit their agenda or having bias in the way that they report. Notable exception of The Daily Politics, Jo Coburn and particularly Andrew Neil are excellent.

Odd how many people in the comments are missing the point.

Quite a few comments now though correcting then

Yes, the BBC are very biased. The Daily/Sunday Politics may be more neutral but that message doesn't seem to have been conveyed to their sound person (or whoever it is who decides on the background music for TV shows). Listen to the completely different music used for the trans person and then the 'evil feminists from Planet RadFem' at 29 minutes in:

The Independent are now covering the Man Friday story:

Good article in The Independent and great that they have linked the petition.

The Evening Standard are also reporting on it now:

Any news from the Guardian

"The amount of censorship that occurs on the BBC, Grauniad, and Independent means that some major news would never be reported at all were it not for the Sun and the Mail.."

Funny you should say that, it took 24hrs after the DM for the BBC and the Grauniad to cover the Telford rape gang.
Can't help thinking had it been a gang of white men and their community raping Pakistani girls they would have covered it front and centre.
