British broadcast news services is overwhelmingly [[liberal]]. The ''[[BBC]]'' which conservatives view as very liberal in nature and the ''[[ITN]]'' less so.  ''[[Sky News]]'' is owned by Rupert Murdoch but is not [[conservative]] by American standards either.

In the United Kingdom the broadcast media is exclusively liberal in tone. The print media is significantly tilted to the Left - for example, The Times (often seen as the paper of the establishment) is in a similar position on the political spectrum to the New York Times; 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[Citation Needed]. 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.

Populist and less political papers are the ''[[Daily Telegraph]]'', ''[[Daily Mail]]'', ''[[Daily Express]]'' 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 sensationalist 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.
