Don’t trust this paper. Double and triple check everything.

The best thing about the Telegraph is MATT.

Why?

The Telegraph is sort of a propaganda rag masquerading as a “serious” newspaper. It serves the interests of the Tory party similar to how The Guardian is always left-wing in everything it does.

Don’t listen to me - Dominic Cummings is a part of the Tory Party hates the Telegraph and has been highly critical of their pretend journalism on Twitter. The telegraph is a part of a power structure, not a real newspaper.

I check the Telegraph from time to time and I agree from a political angle they lean right but I've never seen anything outlandish which is why I asked.

I don't trust Dominic Cummings in the slightest. His childish character assassination attempts on former colleagues reveal a reckless, vengeful, insecure personality and I don't see any reason why he wouldn't behave towards an organisation in the same way he does towards people. In that sense he reminds me of another person who recently left the political spotlight...

I wouldn't say they're outlandish, but this story about the SNP and Scotland is printed both here and in the Daily Mail. Whenever I see such a coincidence in the British media, it's worth double and triple checking. Might be that Lord Rothemere and the Barclay Brothers have decided to do a number on someone. You have to remember the concentration of power in the British media is immense.

The Telegraph conducts no journalism I'm even aware of. They just print "news" which fit their agenda. Even The Times is incomparable, even though they both lean right The Times actually carries stuff that's worth reading. The Telegraph is just a political party paper that happens to have national outreach.
