The "Independent" has become just a poor facsimile of the other "rags".

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-less-electable-than-under-ed-miliband-and-needs-radical-rethink-to-regain-power-10420140.html   Labour leadership: New poll shows party is now even 'less electable' than under Ed Miliband Which one of these candidates will succeed Ed Miliband? Some time ago, the “Independent” was just that. A newspaper giving an independent view of events and stories from both within the United Kingdom and from around the world. Since the arrival of the “new” editorial regime however, the “Independent” has degenerated into a rather poor facsimile of the other press outlets competing in the media world, for the rather dubious position of being the most biased and deceitful right wing rag on the newsagent racks and the “online” news sites.

His all too frequent appearances on Sky News for the paper reviews fills me with a great revulsion against the Mail and all those other so called journalist s who work there. As I said in a previous post in respect of the Mail, "A rag which is not even fit enough to hang on a nail in the outside loo. Where incidentally, you can find most of the "journalists" who write the garbage printed in it".
