Roly, you said yesterday that we should assume nothing. Today, to support your argument, you say: Most people aint bothered about politics generally when they buy a newspaper.
I'm guessing that you haven't polled anyone before making your assertion, so I'm guessing it was an assumption?
Do you regularly buy the Daily Mail for some thing easy to dip into at the breakfast table? Do you suppose MMM does? I won't ask about Exile as he is happy to quote from it when posting about Brexit.
Do you seriously believe that people don't notice the political bias of their newspaper of choice? I've been known to dip into The Sun, The Mirror and the Mail (whilst waiting in takeaways or if one has been left on the train) and their editorial positions are obvious, election season or not. They hide their positions behind nothing at all.
I can only speak for myself, but I wouldn't buy The Sun or Mail, because of the editorial positions they adopt (and wouldn't buy the Mirror because it's dull). Why should I believe that others would take a different stance?
Hard righters read the Mail, not The Times or Telegraph (nobody reads the latter any more).
Floaters read the easy stuff..? Did somebody call me patronising the other day?
