In this episode I assess how well the mainstream media is doing at fulfilling its roles and responsibilities to the people of the UK (spoiler: not very). From The S*n’s reporting on the Hillsborough disaster to the demonisation of refugees in the media in general, the media doesn’t report accurately or represent the demographic it is supposed to, and change is needed to combat this.
