The Influence of Right-Wing Media in British Politics
The dominance of right-wing media, fueled by concentrated ownership and sensationalism, influences public perception and political dynamics in the UK. Ownership by figures like Murdoch shapes narratives, while the press's ecosystem tilts conservative as it caters to an older, more right-leaning readership. The contrast with left-wing media, often perceived as serious or less engaging, heightens the impact of the right-wing press, enabling them to control narratives and sway public opinion.
