We have a free press, get over it. May has barely put a foot wrong since becoming PM, Corbyn and his cronies are a gaffe a minute. Every lefty in this country sounds like Trump supporters prattling on about his treatment by the MSM.
As for the BBC well they hate Corbyn, Trump, Brexit and the SNP. They have long been the media wing for New Labour.
In what sense is the press free?
There are some pockets of independent thought, news and analysis, but overwhelmingly the news and editorial elements of the print and online press is determined by the interests of offshore billionaires and commercial advertisers - with an overlay of lobbyist spin and packaged press releases that fit into the priorities set above. The GMB and Amnesty are free to issue their press releases. The Mail is free to ignore them, and select the stories and angles that favour its advertisers, the Tory Party, and other interests that that newspaper has traditionally promoted.
