Check out your daily newspaper, see how it rates.

Dial in the title of your daily into the search box to see where it sits politically and to get an idea of whether you should believe everything you read.

Apologies for quoting my own post but I thought I'd get the ball rolling with Britain's most popular newspaper: The Daily Mail.

Is there any wonder we are in the Brexshit.

I haven't bought a paper for years. The last one I bought was the Sunday Sport when it first came out. It was the only one worth a w**k.

I liked the story of the first moon landing with the picture of Louis Armstrong taking the first step for mankind. It's claimed it was when he was looking down on Earth that he got the inspiration for the song 'What a Wonderful World'.

To paraphrase Stewart Lee, they've always been very keen on balance at the Daily Mail, going all the way back to the 1930s.

Talking of balance, while I REALLY love the idea of the BBC, their obsession with false balance in news stories is destroying what they are supposed to be.

So they have a serious climate scientists on the news to discuss climate change, and then have some superannuated bell end who knows nothing about the subject like Nigel Lawson, who is paid by oil companies to basically say that climate change is a con.

Then today, 150 University heads have written a report saying that Brexit is going to be highly damaging to the very successful higher education sector. On the BBC website, they report this, then say, "But Toby Young says it's all b*llocks." That's 150 long term professionals who run extreme successful export-sector organisations, with turnovers way, way in excess of £100m each giving one opinion. And that being balanced by the unsubstantiated opinions of a journalist,  judge on Top Chef, and someone who lasted as a week in the role of head of the Office for Students before resigning.

It is f**king ridiculous.
