Surely the FT is an organ of the wicked capitalists?
We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |

1) Lionel barber on BBC's This Week: "We’re an international newspaper, we don’t carry water… You know what we do we don’t carry flags around when we’re reporting for the FT. What we do is report the facts. We don’t just report what the Commission does." 2) The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism stated the papers with the most pro-remain articles were, the Guardian, the Financial Times, the Daily Mirror. Taking your post:- 1) 'We report the facts', that is not 'pretending to be neutral, that is what they are supposed to do. 2). In reporting the facts as the FT editor says he does, that is not 'pro-remain' it is how it reads. So one morning you open the FT and its for or against brexit so what.

How many times do I have to explain this? He says they purely report the facts and they are not biased in response to Michael Portillo's claim that they are on This Week. At least the Mirror and Guardian say they are 'remainers'. Yet the evidence states the FT was one of the 'remain' papers. Edited by Penge Eagle (01 Nov 2017 9.42pm)

Edited by Penge Eagle (01 Nov 2017 9.42pm) It does, clearly [Link] Though what that has to do with them reporting up to date news I don't know. If Brexit is a roaring success they will be reporting the financial upswings of that too. The reason there is so much negative news is because, so far, most of the fallout has been exactly that; negative.

Your welcome to your opinion but if the FT say they are reporting the facts that does not make them 'pro-remain'. To suggest that they are 'pro-remain' means they are biased in their reporting and that's not fair. If the opinion column is in favour of remain that's different.
