In 2013 Zack Polanski told a reported from the S*n that he believed hypnosis could increase a woman’s breast size. Clearly it can’t but 13 years ago Polanski was not the leader of the Green Party or even its leader. However the story has been covered by the Mail and the BBC in the last week.
Meanwhile the Guardian has researched short Cameo videos that Nigel Farage makes upon request and for payment. In fact he has made hundreds of thousands of pounds over several years doing so. The Guardian investigation found that in some videos Farage appeared to encourage far right and fascist sentiment and echo racist views on immigration.
Farage is still making the Cameos now but aside from the Guardian no other mainstream media outlet has as yet covered it.
In a sense its hardly news that the media is biased against left of centre politicians. Studies have been underlining it since the 1970s. Perhaps of more interest is that it continues and reasserts itself in each new generation of journalists. Those who vilified Tony Benn in the 1970s are like the man himself mostly gone, but their 2020s successors are still at it.
