So he has been fortunate to have a good education and is a very bright young lad. That lad has a bright future and i applaude him for his excellently put arguments.
The Express is equal to the guardian on that front and so many of you quote their headlines.
Just beinging some balance back to the board.
Agreed - complete and utter tory **** - don't think he "wiped the floor" with anyone.
On and off I’ve watched QT all the way back to the time of Robin Day. For the first two decades it was always a biased left wing rent a mob, trying to shout down any Tory or pro business guest.
What a turnaround in the last ten years or so. Instead there’s often a very belligerent, right wing core to the audience, with Brexit a passion.

If you believe that you've never read either of them.

I would have to agree that the "remain" position of the Guardian is clear, but it is less extreme and more likely to check its facts.

Err yes I have.
They are just equally at opposite ends to the spectrum.
Why do you feel that they are more likely to check facts?
They are both a much of a muchness IMO.

So, what was the second question?

You can read a lotvthese days about lazy journalism where people just pick up stories from elsewhere and print them without checking their validity - even things like spoof stories in Private Eye surfacing in the mainstream press. I don't think the Guardian would ever be caught like that. Maybe I am being unfair to the Daily Express.
I was going to comment that the Guardian is independent - ie not owned by a media mogul like Murdoch or the Barclay Brothers, who dictate the editorial standpoint. The Express used to be owned by Richard Desmond, who would have been similar, but I think it was sold last year to the same group that owns the Mirror.
But in old fashioned terminology, the Express is a tabloid, the Guardian a broadsheet. You won't find the same sort of celebrity nonsense or gratuitous pictures of scantily clad ladies as you might in other places.
