During the election campaign my co-editor Adam Ramsay and I reported on the newspapers' planned "coup", the extent to which the right wing press and Tory HQ worked in unison, and how the press decided what was news and what wasn't. A recent report by the Media Standards Trust tells a story that chimes closely with much of this, proving that the majority of the press were heavily anti-Labour, and pro-Tory.
Overall, the Conservatives dominated the positive stories from the press, while the vast bulk of negative stories were targeted at Labour.
