I don't think that Fox News pie chart is bad because of the math, but because they used a pie chart. Those are the percentages of people who would support those candidates, but many would support the others too. It would be better as a bar graph.

It's pretty big business down here for witchdoctors to "bring back lost lovers" and "punish cheaters" - sources. A local tabloid ran the same story with the headline "FREE MY PUNANI".

Mail Online know exactly what their market is and hit it square on the head every time. 40% clickbait outrage for the mums and grannies, 10% 'UK on its last legs' for all the expats congratulating themselves on getting out in time and 50% naked celebrities for everyone else to leer at/publicly shame. The hard copy isn't that different really, just less naked celebrities and more immigrants, but MO takes it to a fine art.

It is ultimately a populist paper geared toward the English middle class; there's a right-wing tinge at least on most of its reporting but it will diverge from its usual line if it thinks its core audience would approve. For instance, when tuition fees were unpopular with the English middle class, they were willing to criticise the government over them (I was in my first year of university at the time, and even five years later I can still remember the Mail's first headline on the protests in London, which declared "A VERY MIDDLE CLASS PROTEST" and stood out alongside the rather less than charitable stance taken by the Express, though when allegations emerged that a protestor may have defaced the Cenotaph they changed their tune a bit). A little bit before that, they criticised bankers and called for increased bank regulation, neither of which are especially Thatcherite policies, but were nonetheless popular with their target audience. I think they've shifted further to the right since "Red Ed" (seriously, you'd think he was Literally Lenin rather than a vaguely left-of-centre social democrat, wouldn't you?) became Labour leader, but my impression is that most of their really big embarrassments these days seem to crop up whenever the editor (Dacre) digs his heels in over an issue that he's turned into a kind of personal crusade, an obvious example being "Ralph Miliband Hated Britain" from last year (which I'm given to understand a lot of rank-and-file Mail journalists didn't like, but couldn't really do anything about because it was essentially Dacre's pet project). Whatever. I only read the Times and the Belfast Telegraph myself. Wheat Loaf has a new favorite as of 12:23 on Mar 6, 2015 |
