In the United Kingdom the broadcast media is exclusively [[liberal]] in tone. The print media is balanced in terms of number of right-wing and left-wing papers - for example, ''[[The Times]]'' is a centre-right paper owned by Rupert Murdoch<ref>http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/</ref>, whose readership vote 40% Tory, 29% Liberal Democrats and 26% Labour in a poll conducted by MORI; the ''[[Independent]]'' and the ''[[Guardian]]'', on the other hand, are significantly further to the Left than any mainstream American publication. The main conservative newspapers are the ''[[Daily Telegraph]]'' and the more populist ''[[Daily Mail]]'' and ''[[Daily Express]]'' {{fact}} and the ''[[The Sun]]'', which is also owned by Rupert Murdoch<ref>http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/</ref>. ''[[The Mirror]]'', ''[[The Sun]]'' and the ''[[Daily Star]]'' are the traditional form of tabloid papers that are designed to cater to the working class, with ''[[The Sun]]'' being right-wing, ''[[The Mirror]]'' being left-wing and the ''[[Daily Star]]'' tending to avoid political leanings and instead concentrate on what can be considered to be sensasionlist news stories.  ''[[The Spectator]]'' is a weekly journal of opinion which expresses broadly conservative views; until 2006 it was edited by [[Boris Johnson]], a conservative politician who was elected Mayor of [[London]] in 2008.

Whilst there is the belief that British broadcast news services are exclusively [[liberal]] in nature, this is inaccurate.  There are three main British based broadcast news services, the ''[[BBC]]'' which conservatives view as being liberal in nature, ''[[ITN]]'' which tends to not to be seen as being either liberal or conservative by either side and ''[[Sky News]]'' which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, and so is conservative in nature.
