Loughborough University’s Centre for Research in Communication and Culture has analysed the media coverage of the first few weeks of the referendum campaign. As we can see in the table above, it is being dominated by the Tories. If we look at the table below, unsuprisingly the Tories dominate the top 10 individual appearances as well.

All anyone else sees is a party at each other's throats.
Should cheer up their opponents enormously.

And I’ve seen and heard no evidence of any canvassing. For either side.
Donald Trump Protester Speaks Out: “I Was Paid $3,500 To Protest Trump’s Rally” https://t.co/pMpl3WY1qC via @ABC News
Mr. Eagles, for Remain, the problem is that a wavering lefty might decide the tie-breaker is harming Cameron, which means voting Leave.
“Almost all of the people I was protesting with I had seen at my interview and training class. At the rally, talking with some of them, I learned they only paid Latinos $500, Muslims $600 and African Americans $750. I don’t think they were looking for any Asians. Women and children were paid half of what the men got and illegals received $300 across the board. I think I was paid more than the other protesters because I was white and had taken classes in street fighting and boxing a few years back”
#Remain 3x more tv coverage of their case for staying IN, than #voteleave case for coming OUT
What a shock. Not.

I am beginning to see this vote next month, as tedious as this long march to the damned vote is, a battle of good over evil.
When I read the full article with the weird shit about socks and snopes being a dodgy unreliable website, alarm bells rang...
"Lewandowski shared what seemed to be a report from ABC News on Twitter — only to be informed soon by other people who took the time to read the full text, and the description of the website, that it was a hoax — it was not from ABC News at all, but a website with a URL that was similar to it."

The concepts of inequality, hedonistic consumerism and capitalism will become redundant as humans realise that we are equal, have equal needs and wants, are compassionate, and collective.
Which brings up the question about the use of Cameron and Osborne as the main front men for REMAIN in the past 15 weeks.
Roger, as our inhouse communications expert, why would a campaign think that to keep putting up Cameron and Osborne as their main front men is a great move when their ratings from voters have plummeted? Is it signs of a campaign where the spokesmen control the campaign and the communications "experts" are too timid to tell them to STFU?
For all the shambolic elements of the LEAVE campaign, REMAIN has a unified campaign which for 15 weeks has made a fundamental mistake with its target audience. Hint, the voting block most important to REMAIN are LABOUR VOTERS!
Big enough mistake for REMAIN to lose? Yes, maybe. With the single unified campaign rolling for 15 weeks, all the Govt resources and control of the timescale, REMAIN should by now be a rock solid certainty to win.
People are unequal. Fate is capricious. Resources are limited. Humans are selfish.
Communism can work in a large house with ten inhabitants. Try it in a country, and you get economic collapse, social upheaval and widespread misery.
So how does this work ?
German Dairy farmers to get an immediate 100 million Euro subsidy to support milk prices. Which Angie seems to just go ahead and do while Dave tells UK farmers his hands are tied.

Talking of Katie: has she done her naked 'sausage inna bum' routine yet?

Marx wrote in the shadow of such utopian philosophers as Rousseau, Locke and Hobbes. He would have despised the use of his philosophy to support the vile totalitarianism of Stalin, Mao, and all those other odious despotic, authoritarian, communist, death regimes of the 20th century.
Of course, big decisions in business and government are usually the result of lots of little decisions, so a narrative is created in the executive's mind which convinces him or her that they are on the right track.
It is one of the reasons that I am convinced that most highly paid executives could be replaced with people with real experience in their business at much lower cost. To pick an example from these pages in recent days, SeanT mention that bloke from America who was brought over to run the Daily Telegraph. He didn't understand the business or the customers and buggered the whole thing up before he was finally sacked, but not before he inflicted, probably, irreparable damage. There are lots of other examples in recent UK industrial and government history.
People don't put equal effort in if they get the same out regardless.
It's also interesting to consider (well, for me) how that affects both betting and book-buying. I'm convinced my first book's sold the most (new 5* review recently, incidentally) simply because people like the title Bane of Souls, and the cover.
On the betting front, I try to weigh up evidence, get bets in mind, then see the odds. If nothing works there, I'll check the markets and see if anything leaps out. It's a curious mixture of reasoning and instinct, though.
Indeed my then GP failed to diagnose my cancer on the grounds of his personal experience and was most reluctant to send me for investigation.
That was 5 years ago admittedly and I will know in a week or so when the operation and medication which wiser heads recommended have worked.
The reference to a threesome with Katie Hopins, and Anne Coulter, two particularly odious types, was just to wind you up, and rather badly done by me. And that is my way of offering an apology of sorts.

Out of interest, a question to the remainers:
If we vote to remain, and then the deal gets thrown out by say the EU parliament, would you demand another referendum, or insist that this one was on the basis the deal might be sunk afterwards?
More seriously, no. It's a pen name. Or is it? [Yes. It is].
Edited extra bit: shade under the weather. To clarify in a non-arsish way: Thaddeus White is indeed my pen name. Neither that nor Morris Dancer is my real name.
Why should there be masses of shy Labour Leavers? Apart from Leavers being decried as knuckle-dragging Neanderthal racists at every turn? Because they would be seen as letting down "our own"? Siding with hated Tories? No reason....
I think I read somewhere that it would take about 100k for Bill Gates to take a few seconds to pick it up off the road. If it was any less it wouldn't be worth his effort.
Capitalism is really unfair, it really is. Granted and accepted, we needed something that inspired a bit of competition to get humanity out of poverty, and get us somewhere, but capitalism will soon reach it's sell by date, and us humans will figure out something else to spread utility more efficiently.
From what I have been hearing, people REALLY did not like that. And what is ultra-stupid is that for many, it will rob a narrow Remain win of any legitimacy. All I can think is that they must have been seeing some VERY BAD INTERNAL POLLING....
Just the day for Cameron to go hand in hand with Khan skipping up a duo for Remain. The heart just hardens.
so you'd rather waste your time and money in a shit club, in the full knowledge that you are going to have to go home anyway ?
I have a theory that one of the big causes of health inequality in this country is nothing to do with lifestyle or relative poverty. It is because poorer people tend to be less well-educated, less self-confident and so more inclined to accept what their doctor says as gospel. I am certain I would have been dead nearly twenty years ago if I had passively listened to the specialist, the specialist FFS, when my kidneys went wonky. I remember the interview well, it was only after I told him he was talking out of his arse and that things were not proceeding well that he changed tack and treatment that I began to recover. I have had to do something similar with my current young GP too.
And the beer is piss.
The best thing about being at home is that I can see roses bloom: Gertrude Jekyll is particularly gorgeous.
