Journalism in the UK has been poor for awhile, it got worse after the Brexit vote. When I was editor on a farming magazine I was told by the owner to only include positive leave articles, and leave out any facts that might put a negative spin on leave. I was even told to over embellish leave facts. I told him to sling his hook and if he didn’t like me putting balanced articles in the mag then find someone else.

That was a similar story across the industry where either owners or management were forcing journalists to slant stories one way. The press has veered towards a more right of politics view in the last few years.
