Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

Telegraph is right leaning? Damn, idk that.
Yes its nickname is The Torygraph
Well Tories are kinda better if we compare it with far right. The right wing you guys have in UK is nothing compared to what I have in my country (we do not have a presence of left wing in our politics (except for some minority labor unions)).
Pretty sure, yeah. Most of the UK papers are. The only one I know for sure is The Guardian. There's probably others.
The Observer, The Independent and The National (Scottish), The i and The Scotsman are either neutral or lefty.
Is there a "not" missing? The Guardian is left leaning except their transphobia.
Hot take. The guardian is know for being excessively woke to most people. Even i find it a little much sometimes, and I'm a total pinko. Have you any examples of their transphobia? Not being a dick, i've just never, ever heard that before.
Here's an article somewhat amusingly from The Guardian on it
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/nov/02/guardian-editorial-response-transgender-rights-uk
Also this vice article includes lots of links to relevant guardian articles
https://www.vice.com/en/article/guardian-trans-journalists/
Thanks for sharing; I genuinely didn't know that was something they'd been criticised for. I'll read the linked articles when I get a chance, but this is certainly news to me.
EDIT. Actually I may not read the articles. One is nearly 20 years old and the newest is over 5.
They're from 2018 and 2022? I'm confused, but you certainly don't have to read them.
The links in the 2nd article mate
I would debate the "most people" part, but I guess we move in different circles. As well as the links posted by toomanypancakes, hundreds of the Guardian's own staff signed a letter criticising its “pattern of publishing transphobic content”.
It is notorious in the trans community for having some strongly transphobic regular columnists.
If you do an online search for "guardian transphobia" you will find numerous media reports and trans people's reddit posts about it over the years.
I only know BBC when it comes to British media and that feels lefty or neutral
The BBC barely feels neutral, has mostly leaned right over the past decade.
The only major left-leaning non-tabloid one I can think of is the Guardian.
what is non tabloid?
Basically the guardian and i (that's their name, a lowercase letter i, it's so stupid)
It means semi-serious. Basically, you have broadsheets that purport to push serious journalism and tabloid papers that are more sensationalist and low-brow. Tabloids in the UK include The Sun (hugely popular, Murdoch-owned, right-wing scandal rag) and the way less popular Mirror (a left-leaning paper that sort of emulates The Sun's style in an attempt to appeal to the masses).
Meh its okay but they're under pressure to give voice to racist bigots in the interest of 'balance'.
You should listen to 5 live (one of their radio stations). You wouldn't believe what they let some people say live on air.
