The Telegraph - UK
The Daily Telegraph has an initial bias rating of lean right. Our AllSides Bias Rating™ is based predominantly off of independent research. Britannica refers to the newspaper as one that takes a conservative, middle-class approach to comprehensive news coverage, while The Guardian asserts itself as a left-leaning newspaper alongside the right-leaning Telegraph. The newspaper’s traditional right-wing stances and influence over conservative activists have resulted in the newspaper being referred to by some as the Torygraph. Even when conservative support was slumping in the opinion polls as Labour ascended during the 1990s, the newspaper remained loyal to the right-wing. Additional research is needed to determine whether The Daily Telegraph should remain listed as lean right, or if it should be switched to a far right bias.

Furious Russian officials have threatened “scumbag” presidential election saboteurs with eight years in prison for pouring green ink into ballot boxes.
The crackdown comes ahead of an expected “flash mob” protest at noon on Sunday – the final day of voting – at the urging of exiled opposition leaders.
The peaceful strategy was endorsed by Alexei Navalny, shortly before his death at the hands of Russian authorities in a gulag in Siberia.
At least two more attacks on ballot boxes were reported on Saturday, adding to roughly 15 recorded on Friday. The attacks have pressured officials into tightening security at polling stations across Russia.
