The reality of Europe is distorted by a British press which drip-feeds its readers a diet of xenophobia [Guardian summary] says Neil Kinnock in Euro-porkies. The Sunday Times (who are picked out) dub Kinnock Enemy of the People.

The fact that many papers simply omit to report important stories because they are counter that paper's politics, or knowingly print false information because they can get away with it, really upsets me. The standard of information in the right-wing Europhobe press especially is getting beyond a joke.
