A licence has been issued for a news channel that would be biased towards right wing rhetoric.
Surely we want our news impartial but our news reporters holding our leaders to account across all sides.
Scary times

"Channel 4 news is left wing,works both ways and nobody will make you watch it"
The point is news should be unbiased or how do we know the truth? The news reporting should be unbiased.
Boris ran away from Andrew Neil. Our politicians should all be questioned and challenged by independent news.

UK news, in general, is a lot more unbiased than most countries, imo. But I do find it useful to was left wing news outlets followed straight after watching right wing media, as at least then you can see where both sides are coming from. |

Yes, you think for yourself and get a balanced view.
Sadly 90% of our population don’t and just suck it all up. |

"Murdoch was exposed for what he was in the levisson inquiry
How can he get a tv licence after that"
He’s not fronting it but it’s a company based in his group set up.
We aren’t supposed to know I’m sure. Wonder if Farage will be the anchor?  |

Imagine how many people on this country read the likes of the sun,the mail the Express.
They will also target the hello/loose women market which is huge. |

Yes I think there are worst countries but we don't need to lower ourselves to them. On the other side we have RT news that is not exactly unbiased and hear get reported before |

You’re right there are worse countries, however we let Murdoch take over too many newspapers and now he’ll have too many tv news outlets.
Our tv news is supposed to be unbiased by charter and give equal prominence to all views, so it can be checked.
Letting Murdoch have his own way with tv is following the nightmare which engulfs the US.
My family in the USA ( they were born there) watch the BBC feeds to get the truth because their tv is so full of lies. |

Not sure about the channel 4 news being left wing. I'm far from left wing but the 7pm channel 4 news was always my first port of call in the evening. If this goes ahead how many tv news channels will he have in the UK |

As sky news U.K. to the list of U.K. media stated here. It’s a monster .
I also discovered they hacked dead soldier’s families phones. This was overseen by the top people at Sky and nothing done about it by any government. One person did time I think.

sky news is no longer owned by news corp..... sky's entire european operation is owned by Comcast (who own the NBC Network in the US) |

So maybe this is Murdoch's return to UK tv but means just one channel for now at least. RT have been here several years now |

Nothing can ever be totally unbiased but the best that you or I can do is listen to both sides before making an opinion.
Too many only want to hear the view that suits there agenda,that is ignorance |

This is incredibly ironic. Many times, I've seen you dismiss facts and views you don't like. Even going so far as to call them "bollocks".

No news source is impartial. Do what me and my partner do and read/watch sources from both ends of the spectrum to get close to the truth  |

To get a tv news licence today you have to share all points equally on air and give equal airtime. ( I don’t believe that works a lot) . Changing the rules will give a sun newspaper bias to what is supposed to be a serious journalistic source.
I personally want my news to be honest and truthful. I also want the rules around newspaper ownership changing back to only one allowed per business group.
Financial and political support to the political parties will ensure my wants will never happen.

But with regulation they can be held to account at some point one would hope. Letting the rules go means all news is biased and as most people in this country seem to be following the American dumbing down path we eventually only have the richest persons view being pushed forward as truth. |

I don’t see the mainstream news as any different now to what it was 10 years ago. They all have their own agendas and it’s boxing clever to recognise that. Luckily we now have the internet and a wealth of alternative news sources to choose from too. I’m not going to get all bent out of shape about it all. |

Let me guess... the 'protests' were largely peaceful?
Or did they report that a police officer knocked herself off her horse again? |

You’re obviously intelligent enough to go looking for the truth .sadly most are not.
The rules on media were relaxed by Thatcher to help her win support from Murdoch. That’s why we now have two main media companies ( both tax exiled ) owning most of the top 10 newspapers.
They are also massive online . Because it suits the present governments agenda they will do nothing.
I’ve watched over the years as our media becomes more and more dishonest and it’s become harder to find the truth.
That’s not a good thing for any democracy. Without the truth we are just mugs!

I’ve stopped bothering with people who can’t think for themselves. I find it all so tiresome trying to converse with someone who refuses to look at something other than the Express or the Guardian. Too much emotion and hyperbole in partisanship for me. |
