Mark B 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2006 Just as a matter of interest, how come The Daily Express is listed as a 'left-wing tabloid' in PM4E? The Daily Express is quite right-wing and competes mainly with the Daily Mail for readers. At best, you could call it centre-right. Was this a mistake or a deliberate attempt to balance out the preponderance of Tory-supporting newspapers in real life? I only noticed because I am working on scenarios and was surprised to find the Daily Express listed as left-wing in the endorsers file. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My parents buy the express and i hate it with a passion. Even at the last election it backed the tories whereas on the game it leans labour. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

admin_270 82 Report post Posted January 3, 2006 (Just to add, the Express's position in the game is Centre-Left, although as you said in the Details box it does say 'left-wing'.) Anthony Burgoyne 80soft.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
