Which news outlet best represents your political views?

[Nebuchadnezzar]

There is never a good outcome from these threads. Why does a football forum need a politics board anyway? Aren't there any actual politics forums to go and post on?

I just look at what Len Rum, Rascal and Fumble post against mcfc1632(or whatever he's called) and web and find a comfortable position somewhere broadly in the middle.

I find it disturbing that the news can represent your political views in the first place. News should be a bunch of things that happened. It's like asking which scientific discovery best represents your political views.

That’s a very naive view I’d say. The Guardian is completely Remain for example and their slant on any economic or political news is shaped by that editorial policy. The Telegraph is the opposite as it is Leave supporting and they report on the same issues from that perspective.

There is no right or wrong (mainly) with political views. It is not like reporting on the death toll in an earthquake, for instance.

Yes I know, and that's the problem.

I’m struggling with what you appear to want. Political views are about as subjective as you can get so how can there be a single correct one and who will decide what that is and how would it be regulated?

I mean you say it in your very post. "Political views." Political views are a completely separate thing from news. TV news isn't perfect, but it largely manages to tell the news and is generally regulated reasonably well. A lot of newspaper stories on the other hand are barely disguised opinion pieces or 100 page campaign adverts for a particular political party or policy.
