Yes, it’s because we’re being groomed to accept the things we would have rejected based on factual information. It worked for Brexit.

Indeed. We're being brainwashed into accepting him as PM. Extremely dangerous.

The news cycle is driven by likes, views and shares. Which means the bot farms choose what we see. Engagement up 21% when Tice and Farage spout alternative facts? Get ‘em on every day.

Farage even wangled like, 10 minutes in the House of Commons grinning over asking 1 daft question at #PMQs yesterday. It was the Farage Show. The Speaker got annoyed and Farage got his schoolboy's Show. Ridiculous.

Blanket coverage v having to fight out from a weighted
Blanket coverage!

Sure Reform all the rage now, literally.

But Greens rising more sustainably.

Nigel Farage has campaigned from, "Vote the way I want and you will get more money for the NHS" to "Vote the way I want to get rid of the NHS"

… and it’s going to be an uphill battle now that Trump - the cancer of mankind - is funding him.

One is excellent click bait, the other isn't is probably more accurate

I could swear we only had 4 MPs. Has someone defected from another party?

dafties.bsky.social•18 days ago

Nope it's all about 'traffic and attention' to make money and hate filled bigots drive that alot more than anything else and that's all capitalist media moguls give a shit about

Let alone the 72 MPs of the Lib Dems and their leader. The man had to do tricks in order to get any airtime.
UK media hooked on contraversy for exposure.

I have a Green MP, Adrian Ramsay.

He's not perfect by any means, but hasn't been whoring himself round all the TV appearances he can, and sent a card round a few weeks ago saying what he hoped to achieve in the New Year.

Tory predecessor Richard Bacon did so little someone put up Missing posters

Anyone who tries to claim that the BBC is "independent " only needs to look at coverage of these 2 parties on the news and question time.

cps10001.bsky.social•18 days ago

The BBC hasn't been impartial for years.

Not since the Con-servative Unionist Party in Government seeded the BBC management with Compliant Con-servative supporters.
