Well, difference of opinion clearly; I think the principle is one and the same. All the media is mediated.

All the media is prejudiced one way or the other; at least the Americans have the choice to consume media with a right-wing bent. We have no such options in the UK.

Daily Mail?

Sky News?

Mater of opinion, but I don't think Sky News is particularly conservative.

The situation in the UK is brought into sharp focus imo because of the BBC's status as an institution financed by tax. Which clearly isn't right in this day and age.

Comparing BBC to NHS

BBC is a dinosaur and, unlike the NHS, most people could easily live without it.

pics of tomorrow's front cover have been out since last night - if people want to put them on FB then more power to them

I'm far from Zuckerberg's or Facebook's biggest fan but respect him for taking the stance that he has done w/r/t these cartoons: https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10101844454210771?pnref=story
especially when most mainstream media outlets are still kowtowing to the extremists by cravenly self-censoring
