Telegraph backs leaving the EU

[BritBrit]

The Telegraph has backed Brexit, being the main Conservative party supporting newspaper could this effect the result particularly for Conservative voters & what is the impact on David Cameron when his main support in the media say we should leave

'The EU belongs to the past. On Thursday we hope the country chooses the future – and votes to leave'

This isn't a surprise surely given the Telegraph is mainly read by aged Tories.

LittleBear - but the Tory government is backing remain?

But have you seen how many Tory MPs back a brexit? Don't have exact figure to hand but it's well over 100.

I think the DT has been making it fairly obvious they support Brexit

RM wants to leave the EU.

The latest poll shows a remain lead.

In respect to this unsurprising news from the Telegraph, it's worth giving this a read.

Martin Fletcher, ex-Times European Correspondent said this about Boris Johnson and his stint at the Telegraph and what it did to political journalism as a whole:

The Torygraph was always going to back Brexit being the paper whose circulation is literally dying out. What's much more heartening is that The Times have backed Remain - in spite of being in the Murdoch stable.

I think this we oldies know better than you silly youngsters article of yesterday sums up the paper's position and much of their readership.

The Sun owned by Murdoch has backed Brexit

Am I in the minority in thinking that newspapers should print... The News rather than a version of it skewed to fit their own political agenda?

Well of course the Telegraph backs leaving. This is hardly a surprise to anyone is it?

I'm happy for newspapers to have their own agenda dodo. I like to read the different takes. By and large American newspapers are quite non-partisan and they make for very dry reading. Their news channels on the other hand........far too partisan in some cases.

Goodness Sweary. I feel like I've been reprimanded like a naughty child by that article ! No wonder the Telegraph readership is declining.
