Media Bias May Be Boris Johnson’s Biggest Adversary
Britain’s biggest broadcasters have dedicated themselves to defeating Brexit, denigrating Johnson, and ‘educating’ their gullible supporters.
Next Thursday’s election pitting Boris Johnson of the Conservatives against Jeremy Corbyn of the Labour party isn’t the only political war in Britain. Much of the broadcast media — ostensibly required to be impartial — has set itself the goal of

In the final days of the 2012 campaign, it's all about the slivers of voters
Matt Ankenbruck has made it virtually impossible for the presidential campaigns to get to him. He hasn't seen much of the $30 million worth of TV advertising spent in the swing state of Colorado by President Barack Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney. He threw out his television after the O.J. Simpson verdict in 1995. They won't get him in print, either. He canceled his subscription to his
