Just out of interest, do they have alternative centre or centre left views on it? Do they get a fair crack of the whip?

Not that I've seen. It's a right-wing echo chamber to the point that they have a sitting Conservative MP hosting a show.

Well, it's about time we had one. There's plenty of left-wing ones out there.

Regardless, they really need to sort their sound problems out soon. It's over a week now, with no sign of a resolution. Roops would have been spitting out P45's a plenty.

I imagine it's an English version of Fox News, but watered down.a little bit
I'd find a left-wing station dedicated purely to political discussion yawn-inducing, let alone a right-wing one. Surely talk- based programs are better suited to the radio, not TV?

That's absolutely fine for you to have one, as long as they stop pretending it isn't.

Out of curiosity which UK Based tv news stations are openly left wing.

Remember 80% of the written press is right wing leaning.

I was thinking the same. Apparently the BBC is a hotbed of socialism. You wouldn't think that listening to the Archers. 😉

Or Lascivious Laura for that matter.
But hey-ho. The self-righteous right will always (hopefully) have the "non-Manchester" Guardian to rail against won't they.

To argue that the TV and newspaper outlets overall favour leftist views beggars belief. Clearly the media balance favours the Tory party and helps them win the elections.
I would say the Guardian and BBC (the favourite bad boys of right-wingers) simply scrutinize the Govt closely. Since the Govt is usually a Conservative one, by nature their scrutiny falls on the Tories.

You'll have a long wait to get an answer to that. Our right-wing friends tend to vanish when a question that they cannot answer crops up
