Rightwing papers use Labour leader’s meeting with controversial comic to ramp up the invective – while others focus on David Cameron’s tax pledge. The rightwing press is splashing on Ed Miliband – but it’s only because of his meeting with Russell Brand.

NDMS: Labour vows to protect media plurality and implement Leveson proposals

Ed Miliband launches the Labour manifesto

If Milliband was to win the election he would have stopped large businesses owning the media e.g. Rupert Murdoch. Institutions such as news corporation own a high amount of  the media therefore, giving them the opportunity to express their views across in the media.  They will be setting a cap of 34% meaning News Corp will have to get rid of one of their media products. This challenges Pareto's law as it now can mean that more companies can make more profit and it leads to more competition in the media industry.
