Media - what can I read that doesn't support the Tories?

[brusselsprout5]

I read a lot of Twitter. I find it's a pretty honest place where I can get facts.

But AIBU to expect at least some of the papers to be unbiased & give it to me straight. All media seem to protect the Tory Party? Are they all in support of them?

What can I read that won't try to protect them/cover up their terrible lies etc?

What are you on about?

Even the Telegraph is very robustly covering the current fiasco.

@brusselsprout5. I know exactly what you mean. I find Al Jazeera to be very unbiased and high-level of journalism. The Guardian and Novara media are very critical of the Tories so you at least can hear the other side.

Twitter is full of personal accounts with people giving their own views. It's not a news platform.

I just hate the biased media! I guess Twitter gives me a variety. I don't mean it's unbiased at all!

The Guardian or The Mirror?
Bear in mind that some international news corps are mouthpieces for their owners/countries rather than impartial.

Twitter is what you make it. I'm sure the OP is capable of working out what is fact and what is opinion. Give Peter Stefanovic a follow, he's a solicitor by profession and does an excellent job at cutting through the bullshit.

The Guardian.

It's not unbiased - but in the opposite direction so you can get another take.

Guardian is as anti-Tory as it gets. You'll have to bear the rest of their ideology

It depends what you’re looking for. The Guardian absolutely doesn’t support the Tories, but is still a completely biased publication.
I’ve actually found that even typically Tory papers like The Telegraph have been fairly balanced in their reporting recently.

Brilliant thanks!

Read the telegraph AND the guardian to get the best overall perspective.

You can also try the Byline times

You can read any paper right now. Even the Torygraph has stopped supporting Johnson.

The Times is fairly balanced . Probably slightly more right wing but certainly more balanced than the Daily Heil or the Torygraph.

Al Jazeera

The Guardian, Daily Star and Mirror are the three least-Tory newspapers, plus the Morning Star if you like something more communist.

Online the BBC is a good shout, they loathe the Tories (hence the reason the Tories talk about ending the licence fee).

The Guardian was ok until a couple of years ago, but it has now gone full woke agenda. I can't read it anymore because of that.

I read world news now such as Reuters.

OP is BU for saying that Twitter is a "honest place where you can get facts".

The mirror has been brilliant at covering Boris and the lockdown issues. The FT is an interesting read as it’s a capitalist publication but very liberal socially, and has been critical of Boris’s handling of the pandemic. Its pandemic tracker was excellent too. The guardian is obviously lefty but don’t think it’s been on top form when it’s come to the lockdown parties, but weirdly the telegraph has been better on this story.

Not a paper, more a current affairs magazine, but Private Eye seems to hold everyone in almost equal contempt. It is very amusing too.
