    You really think we have a free press in the UK. what a stupid thing to say. The main press are all rightwing and ran by a small group of people. This is why it was big news that Starmer talked to Murdoch. Everyone with any sense knows that Murdoch has bought up more papers to push his propaganda than anyone else in the UK. If you want news do not look anywhere near the UK media.

      That is a free press, regardless of whether we like Murdoch or not or the political lean to his papers, the fact that he as a private citizen is able to buy up and run papers and channels without government interference is freedom.

        Except government does interfere with our media. Emily Matlis who worked for the BBC said as much when she quit there. There is extreme prejudice given to Tory media when it comes to TV coverage. This has lead to a cost with left bias media.
