    I earn more than £20,000 and I’m stone cold sober.

    Wondering if anyone else notices their ploys.

    Their message board. When you put in a message it say, “this has been sent to our review team”. They purposefully don’t say moderators, on the basis that moderators have to post things if they don’t break rules. Review team, in using that word, suggests that they are simply choosing, on other criteria what to put up.

    Look up any story on politics. Or any subject. I guarantee that 90% of the comments will be conservative. Be it on education, religion, same sex marriages, politics. In a nutshell, Daily Mail readers sort of view points.

    And no, this isn’t just what people think. I spend all day, literally hours, sending in perfectly informative comments, that get nowhere. Don’t get past the “review team”. I know various people with the same complaint. Please, try and get a liberal comment up on there, if you want to get frustrated.

    By law, SKY NEWs and Murdoch are not allowed to show impartiality in news broadcasting. So they simply just post inflammatory, tabloid style stories, and then censor the message boards, in order to put their tone on the story.

    They quite literally censor the message boards, to only print messages that show a right leaning opinion. As in, their own. Murdochs. McKenzies. And get around impartiality laws that way.

    I challenge someone to read this article’s message board -and then take into account that me and my colleague have had over 50 liberal (perfectly serious and polite) message submissions on it, and not a single one has appeared. Every message has the same political tone.

    Someone really needs to look into it more. Write an article or something. Do some research. It’s political collusion by Murdoch. I assure you.

    I know full well how Fox News works. They report everything, but their editors get given “queue cards” telling them what subjects to highlight, and what tones to put on the stories. Bias.

    This is exactly the same. I bet the “review team” are given the same advice for “tone” for the comments they put up

    “Hammered”. As in 0.5p to the £. That’s the increase. 0.5 to every pound you earn. Maybe 50 quid a year on 20 grand.

    Not really taking into account that it’s actually only the start or tax rises.

    It’s just the fact that Cameron wouldn’t dare announce it before he seals the deal
