Facebook echo chamber: Or, the British media and the election

Vimes

Tell that to the Telegraph. They were sending out emails beforehand to subscribers begging them to vote conservative. And as for the Murdoch owned papers... nothing needs to be said really.

The email in question:

Subject: The Daily Telegraph urges its readers to vote Conservative

Body:

From the Editor of The Daily Telegraph

Dear Reader

As the country goes to the polls, I am taking the unprecedented step of sending you The Telegraph's leading article.

That's because we view this general election as the most important since 1979.

It marks a watershed moment: do we continue under the Conservatives with the open, enterprise-led economic approach that has underpinned our prosperity for nearly 40 years?

Or do we revert to an old-style, “government-knows-best” culture championed by the most Left-wing Labour leader for a generation?

All the frenzied talk about a hung parliament and the surge of the SNP is a distraction because in the end, the choice is straightforward: do we want Mr Cameron to continue in Number 10 or to see Ed Miliband installed as prime minister?

The Daily Telegraph urges its readers to vote Conservative.

Yours

Chris Evans

Editor
