Sometimes newspapers do themselves no favours when it comes to political bias

Two organisations are in the news today for their views on employment law reform:

  • The Institute of Directors, who are critical of Vince Cable and support key parts of the Beecroft report
  • The EEF manufacturers’ association, who are broadly supportive of Vince Cable and critical of key parts of the Beecroft report

Try then to match the following reports run in the papers today with the titles…

The reports:

  1. A report that leads with the IoD, with a headline and opening line critical of Vince Cable
  2. A report that leads with the IoD, but without the prominent Vince Cable criticisms
  3. A report that only mentions the EEF

The media outlets:

  1. The Guardian
  2. Financial Times
  3. Daily Telegraph

See whether you can match them up, aided only be a clichéd view of political slant in stories by newspapers…
