You know, I used to think that the lovely media was causing people to be idiots, but I've changed my mind over the last few years - I now think the media is simply a twisted reflection of the common man's dark, corroded heart. A sort of amplifier for the thoughts left unspoken, an apparatus for social judgement and collective bigotry. People seek justification for their own garbage thoughts and find it all too easily. In that way, of course, the media is a poisonous agent of a self-reinforcing loop of hate, but still, it wouldn't work so goddamn well if the hate wasn't already there to begin with.

One in ten people "doesn't know" whether the police should be privatised. That's my take-home message from this chart.

Oberleutnant posted:gently caress's sake. Tabloids have this crazy fetishism with being super-specific about personal details. "Mother of four, who lives in a small blue terraced house in Newark, in a cul-de-sac, with a red Toyota hatchback, bought some expired porridge. You won't believe what happened next!" I think they do it because it's easy article-filler and also because it makes more "emotional impact" or whatever, they're scum.

Pissflaps posted:Would it? Yes, because when I said their focus group 'of students' I was referring to the focus group they did a week ago that consisted of students. Which they referred to in the article. Did you read it? In any case it's pretty clear they are attempting to mislead by presenting focus group results as if they were polls. A focus group can't 'reveal' that life-long Labour voters don't want free school meals to any degree of significance because it has a sample size of eight. If you want to gauge support for a policy, you do a poll. If you want to get more detail about why people feel the way they do you might get it from a focus group, but it is in no way a replacement for a poll.

They can gently caress off if they think I'm paying money to them for a service I don't use just because I own internet devices capable of running it. This sounds good to me. The BBC is utter wank anyway so I wouldn't mind if they just scrap the whole lot of it

In other news, 82% of 2015 Labour voters intend to vote Labour again. This is compared to 88% of Tory voters, 52% of Lib Dem voters and 38% of UKIP voters. Another nail in the coffin of the idea that Corbyn would drive people away from Labour. And also: https://twitter.com/britainelects/status/865960703101997057

The Tories announcing the repeal of article 40 in the middle of their manifesto is the most cynical poo poo I have seen towards guaranteeing favourable press coverage from the right wing rags. I'm genuinely shocked the Telegraph broke ranks even a little.

It'll be interesting to see the polls that were taken after the Tory manifesto launch.

I like the BBC because they show sports without ad breaks. The BBC should be granted the rights to all sports, purely so they can launch an ad free sports channel. Have it replace BBC 1. TV advertising is really annoying, but I watch lots of sports.

Irony Be My Shield posted:Yeah. I'm actually surprised at how terribly the Lib Dems are doing, I expected them to at least pick up some Remain votes. I guess a second referendum that they'll inevitably lose isn't that big of a draw. Also when the only thing your party kindof stands for is social liberalism maybe don't have a Christian fundamentalist with regressive views as your leader. The Lib Dems will take a long time to recover to where they were. Clegg has done more good for the Tories than he ever could have had he stayed with them.

Irony Be My Shield posted:If Labour have lost some of their traditional voters while having a higher vote share than they did before that suggests that he has in fact done that. Or possibly taken votes from other parties. We won't know if that has happened until June 8th. I'm not expecting labour to have a higher vote share. 29% feels about right to me.

Darth Walrus posted:Article 40? Which Article 40? Section 40 of the press regulation act even. The section that requires those publications that don't sign up to the press regulator would be liable to pay all legal fees for both sides in any legal action taken against them regardless of the out come. Note, I'm not even opposed to this repeal, but it seriously is the carrot being dangled in front of the press to continue favourable and non critical coverage.

It's quite funny the way you are happy to straw-man all Corbyn supporters as not believing in polls, and at the same time disregard any polls that don't 'feel right' to you. Also Corbyn's approval rating according to Opinium has gone from -28 to -18 in a week, making him more well-liked than either Farron or Nuttall.

Strawman indeed. I don't disbelieve or disregard any poll from a BPC affiliated organisation. But I recognise that they are a tool that represents a snapshot of of opinion. Im sharing my opinion on what the final vote share will be, not offering an alternative opinion poll result half way through the campaign, and not making the mistake of comparing mid-campaign polls with the election result.

Like the mumsnet of men. People in this country are just tossers I think. The problem isn't that the BBC has a bias that's all fine and good but they try and tout about the BBC being impartial when it has always been leaning to the left due to the composition of the metropolitan Intelligentsia that makes up its ranks I just don't like the bullyboy tactics the TV Licensing goons use They can gently caress off with ringing my mother in hospital over a ten quid debt

Unmanaged intra-party conflict is a symptom of his weakness, not the cause. Polling data has told us that labour disunity is way behind the leadership itself when it comes to understanding why people are turning away from labour.
