Questiontime from Sheffield

Can you quote it?

not that it alters the fact you’ve just brushed off your victimhood to hide the fact you’ve been shown to be wrong again

 

Again - as a fact-check he wants to raise government spending to levels common amongst our competitors in the EU.

How spending less than many of our neighbours is ‘dangerous’ is beyond me.

 

This is a sad football site when Tory supporting gets so many posts in comparison with football. Why don't you take your politics and stick them somewhere else?

 

Really? In your world maybe or is the perception of the majority of the British public wrong? Opinions eh?

 

Well that’d be interesting if
A it wasn’t in response to a year old post
B it gave a weighted response to each publication in line with its circulation (including the on line versions)
That’d show that what the public perceive to be a right wing paper has far greater influence than a left wing paper.

As an aside, I don’t know if I’d be happy to support a ‘survey’ where 12(%) of respondents have the Mail as left of centre.

 

To be fair, and without point scoring towards either side, given the spread of ratings for the Guardian, Mail and Express there's 25% of the respondents to that survey that haven't a clue what they're talking about.

 

Why are you seeking posts about politics if you don't like them? This is the 3rd post over a year old that youve resurrected for no reason. We've just won 3-0 ffs and your resurrected posts are all at the top.

 

As regards your point A) I admit I did not notice the OP date or the later posts but in fairness I did not exhume the old thread and I am sure Jimmy Viz's perceptions have not changed in that time
B) Not sure what you are saying.?? The poll was about perceptions of papers political positioning and not how influential they thought the papers were in shaping public opinion. Also the
The YouGov page where I sourced the graph makes no mention of weighting. Where did you find that? Happy for you to point it out, just cannot see it.
It did though state that the trend was that the perceived right wing papers were increasing dominant something that the pat 4 years has borne out. Finally, it did state that people's own political bias emphasis the perceived polarisation ... Left leaning readers consider Right wing papers more Right wing than they are, whilst Right leaning readers consider Left wing papers more Left Wing than they are.

 

Talk about missing the point.
