I suspect the truth will be the inverse.
So do I.

What really interests me though is why nobody - not one single part of our or any other media - has recognized what the EU so clearly and publicly have stated, yet they are almost universally quick to try and suggest the breaking of a treaty which this proves has no effect whatsoever until and unless a deal is reached.

That one example alone is sufficient evidence of media's clear pro-EU bias.

Not all the media, thankfully.

I read the Telegraph (online) and they are as unbiased either way as anyone.
I also read the Express (again online) and the general impression is that they support Brexit.

That's a fair summary although I suspect somebody will disagree.

But why has nobody pointed out what I posted when it is readily available?
Why isn't more made of the good news and yet so much made of supposedly bad news, even when it is proven either completely wrong or a (deliberate) misinterpretation?

Today for example in with the headlines is news that our economy leapt up by 15.5% in the quarter July to September, the biggest jump on record.
What follows that almost universally?
The word "but".
"but growth showed signs of slowing down at the end of the three months." says Auntie Beeb.
Very similar on Sky and I can't see anything about it in the Telegraph.

But surely it's no surprise that growth would slow down after a surge - or were to instead expect stratospheric growth?
I suspect disattisfaction that the country isn't doing worse so that some deluded souls can gloat even more.

Hey, there's a bit of terminology the media could get their teeth into!
Stratospheric.

Stratospheric.

It would be admitting failure and would mean the battle would be over. It won't be, not for decades.

Even if the EU was on fire, the knuckle dragging remainers would still want to re-join. They think they are missing out om something ... socialism mainly, as if its still a good idea.

The Irish will eventually learn that the EU cares about self, not about people.
Look at poor Greece.

My response to the Irish would be that as you wanted to remain in the EU when you had the chance of a referendum, you'll have to live with it!

When I heard that on the lunchtime news I shouted out a string of rather tasty words. V dashed in from the kitchen asking what the matter was so, I told her the BBC were pissing on the economy's parade AGAIN! "Oh, is that all?" she asked, "I thought you were going to say something like Boris had died."

How they can justify such blatant bias beggars belief and it's happening far too often.
