Is the Tory Press starting an anti Brown campaign?

Polly Toynbee writing in today's Guardian accuses the Tory Press of a campaign

" get low down and dirtyCameron's Brown-baiting and media spin are intended to divide and rattle Labour in the hope that it will self-destruct ."

Miss Toynbee beleives that the 10 year old news about Gordon Brown's pension policy is the start of this campaign which will reach the depths we last saw against Neil Kinnock in 1992.

She continues

"Media analyst Roy Greenslade, totting up national figures, finds 76% of daily readership belongs to the right - the Times, Telegraph, Sun, Mail, Express, Star. Only 24% belongs to the non-right - the Guardian, Independent, Mirror and Financial Times (though the FT has moved rightwards of late). This news distortion has been the abiding story of Britain, shaping the history of the last century. We have lived with it for so long we forget how far it explains British politics, its rightwardness and anti-EU xenophobia. From birth, the loud noise in the ear of every British citizen has always been the foghorn of the right. Broadcasters timidly follow the dominant press agenda. Opposing it, the small non-right press refuses to be as doggedly partisan and tribal, so the net effect is a media where Labour counts on very little favourable coverage."

I have to say that I agree to a certain extent about the attack on Brown orchestrated by the Telegraph and the Times over the weekend.It was after all the Times that dredged up the information through the freedom of Information act.With the aid of hindsight,Brown's decison appears wrong but does it justiy the coverage.The coincidence that this is 4 weeks before the local elections and that there is still noo haevyweight challenger to Brown is too great.
