Richard Burgeon is right - we need more political education

Political education has long been a feature of the broad left. In part, this is because they — rightly — feel that most sources of information tend to have a rightward bias. What’s more, the further left you are, the more you feel this to be true.

The truth is that the press has its political leanings and on the whole, it tends to the right. While I don’t buy the line that the BBC is also biased — either to right or left — they do take some of their hierarchy of content from what is reported in the papers, which only enhances the problem.
