The PM Debates

[Rich Pullen]

Listening to Cameron and Brown during these last two debate I must say that they haven't appealed to me at all.

I'll be interested to hear what the political experts say because I too would say that Clegg has emerged on top again.

This deserves a poll.

Listening to Cameron and Brown during these last two debate I must say that they haven't appealed to me at all.

I didn't watch the first one, but Brown didn't come across as sincere at all. I thought Cameron talked a good game tonight and can see why dissenters would lean towards voting Tory.

Clegg won it for me, very much the voice of reason and at least tried to answer the questions that were actually asked.

Sky are very cheekily leading on the one poll that shows Cameron ahead and ignoring all the others with Clegg ahead completely. Murdoch really is a gigantic arse.

I wonder if the sun will be continuing their front page anti-clegg campaign today. Maybe that should be a how not an if.

[sheepshagger]

I thought Cameron just about edged Clegg into second - but I guess it really depends where your affiliation sits as well....

Although 1 thing these debates have shown me is that I am not convinced by any of the 3......

I still think the Monster Laving Loonies should be invited on stage - if nothing else it would make for bloody funny TV !!

[nevillew]

As a letter in the Tele(Tory)graph puts today

"Who are people going to vote for when they get into the polling booth and can't find Clegg's name on the ballot paper ?"

Some may be treating this as another reality show.

What you mean The Sun isn't entirely impartial and accurate in it's reporting of the news? Well fuck me!

[Ardiles]

The Independent and the Murdoch press don't like each other, do they.

It's getting ugly.

The same as the Independent then. They state in the headline that The Sun "censored" the poll when in the article it states that they simply didn't publish it - there is big difference between the two. No newspaper is able to publish and comment on every single poll published and its ridiculous to say they should. They even comment in the article that a few days earlier The Sun ran a front page story saying the Lib Dem's had taken the lead in a previous poll.

Maybe, I'd still be prepared to bet that someone who relied solely on the Independent for news for a year would come out slightly better informed than someone who did the same with the Sun. Just a guess, like

And I'd be prepared to bet that both papers make up lies.

The Independent may (or may not) be totally independent of outside influences, but that isn't the same thing as being neutral - they still have journalists and editors that are likely to show bias to certain points of views and arguments.

According to Wikipedia, The Independent leans towards left wing views and a 2004 poll showed its readers were 39% Lib Dem, 36% Labour which suggests some bias against the Tories (or they wouldn't read it).
