John Burns-Murdoch is an FT journalist who does good knowledge evaluation.

He has a knowledge comparability of the UK and USA immediately, suggesting in consequence that the Nationwide Conservatives have significantly misinterpret UK politics as a result of the UK’s Conservative Occasion supporters are significantly extra aligned with Democrat opinion within the USA than they’re with Republican thought. There’s some consolation in that.

I additionally discovered this vital:

The UK may need one frequent information supply that many individuals belief. However they’ll additionally nonetheless query information sources and suppose them unreliable. Within the USA that could be very a lot much less possible: it seems that information customers there are not possible to query their media sources.

Additionally it is odd that US followers of the BBC are way more trusting of it than folks within the UK are.

The insecurity in Murdoch’s Solar is, nonetheless, most particularly gratifying.

What do I take from all this? The excellent news is that for all of the crap the media feeds them on this nation, persons are nonetheless capable of determine those that would possibly politely be described because the purveyors of prejudice. That means seems to have been misplaced within the USA.
