On returning to England after spending 1 month in China/Poland, the amount of Brainwashing by the UK media, particularly Channel 4 News, is alarming.

I can’t disagree. I recall listening to the Today programme during the first ever elections to find a mayor of London. I guess there was some national interest – first actively political role of a mayor and all that.
But this went on day after day, hour after hour, even when people were flooding the BBC with complaints. Just why was a local, allbeit London-local, story given so much coverage?
Answer, because the media was feeding itself.
