In the United Kingdom, there’s no television equivalent because of rules requiring impartiality and accuracy from broadcasters, particularly during election campaigns. But Prime Minister Boris Johnson does have a cheerleader in print and online — The Daily Telegraph newspaper.
The 164-year old publication is one of Britain’s top broadsheets, widely read in political circles and often cited in the country’s top TV programs. And it’s long been an unabashed supporter of Johnson’s Conservative Party — in 2015 the paper was fined £30,000 ($38,500) for breaking direct marketing rules after urging its readers via email to vote for the party.
