And when there's people saying news media shouldn't spew the worthless garbage spewed by whatever parties you like? Not that it is garbage.

I would say that media not addressing issues like this is what got the US Trump.

No, the issue is they are addressing it, and worse, bothsideing it. That's what got the US Trump. 100 people say fash is bad, one says fash is good, and next thing you know the one guy will be sitting next to 1 of the 100 others on CNN, doing a "debate".

No, I live next to the US. What got the US people like Trump was their not reporting on policies, like this. I'm sorry you're some sort of big fan of censoring the news to support your agenda, but that not me at all.

in a democratic spectrum, by all means. But as a German, I draw the line at fascists. No speak for them. Which obvs the media constantly fail to do, because clicks and views.

And other people would say the same for socialism, if they were say from China, or the USSR. But that has more to do with their own baggage, and nothing to do with censoring the news.

The media are not giving equal coverage, Farage is always being pushed as an agenda.

Well, all we can deal with is The independent. you have a link to subject tracking that confirms this?

Why, because they are always in the media, not because they are really wanted.

Well, they are a political party. It's not just the ones you like and support that get the spotlight.

Fairness means multiple metrics, and the polls show projections that aren't so nice.

Farage is always in the media and I have no agenda as not in the UK, but I see more of him than any other politician, so it does seem unfair.

Here's me wondering if your browsing habits have customized algorithms to bring you that. Trump, Starmer, and Carney would be who I 'always see' in the media.

Remember, a lot of times what you see has a lot more to do with you, than what is being viewed.

That is the same for you as well, though. ;-) If anything, coverage should depend on content and context! And Farage has precious little to offer regarding either. It's all just a lot of hot air, completely illegal and impracticable if Farage should ever get into government. We're being had!

It does, but there's so much of it, none of us can view it all. Think of it as two people viewing the same object; one insists it's a circle, the other that it's a rectangle. As it turns out, they're viewing a cylinder. What they see depends on the viewer.
