What daily newspaper is the most left wing?

[winjer]

Yeah, forget all the 'irrelevant' stuff like that it's the only daily newspaper not owned by a transnational corportation

Which corporation is it that owns The Guardian then?

 

[Donna Ferentes]

The Scott Trust.

 

[Andy the Don]

Also our alpha male. Grr!

Isn't RW female..??

I have since been corrected & would like to apologise unreservedly to RW..

The Scott Trust Mr Winjer - I trust from your 'rolleyes' you were implying it was independently owned. Incidentally, you may find this interesting with regard to the Trust. http://www.nuj.org.uk/inner.php?docid=226

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Slightly out of date that, since Young died a while ago. (Not that the salaries have improved since, as per my posting above.)

Sectarian!

My rolleyes were directed at your apparent suggestion that The Scott Trust is a corporation, and in some way transnational.

I believe I was referring to general newspaper ownership in contrast to the PPPS. The Scott Trust may not be a transnational corporation, but is very much in business to make a profit from the production of newspapers with the consequent servility to advertisers etc. In the Tust's own words its objective is:

"To secure the financial and editorial independence of The Guardian in perpetuity: as a quality national newspaper without party affiliation; remaining faithful to liberal tradition; as a profit-seeking enterprise managed in an efficient and cost-effective manner."

my local petrol station is the only place I've seen anywhere near here that sells the morning star

Is Fencesitter ern returned as an eloaborately subtle troll (ernesto-toynbee?)

Is it a pathetic attempt by the guardian to do some viral advertising?

Or some 18year old student who genunily belives that the Nu-Labour in-house magazine known as the guardian is remotely 'leftwing'?

(today in the guardian! a mate of blair says this! A mate of brown says that! a government department wants us to publish this!)

Yeah, Ive noticed that. There is also a small corner shop in Nottingham that sells mostly Arabic newspapers but also sells the Morning Star.
Iv'e read it a few times over the past few years. Find it liberal lefty at best. More in favour of TU buracrats than workers struggle in general, I would call it Neo Stallinist. Though my opinons are of it are clouded by a hatred of statist obsessed "Communists".
