The
proof of the pudding is in the eating. People buy these newspapers. However, …
these
aggressive headlines are weapons and they are meant to act as weapons. In this
case they are meant to help destroy the leader of the British Labour Party, Jeremy
Corbyn. He is leader of Her Majesty’s Most Loyal Opposition, the political
party with the second-largest number of seats in the House of Commons.
The
Daily Mail is owned by Viscount Rothermere, and the Sun is part of Rupert
Murdoch’s empire. These oligarchs’ money influences elections and politics in
Britain. Whereas, freedom of the press is a central tenet of democracy, this should
not mean allowing the ultra-rich to use their money and influence the results
of elections. A way must be found, for democracy to defend itself from such
interference.
