Newspapers write shit for dumb people to make money. They don't let facts get in their way of a good "story" (notice even they use the word story )
They choose which stories to "run with" ( One of the seasons of "The Wire" shows this beautifully )
For example stories on strangers attacking children. It is very rare, in fact most children are most at risk from members of their own family (or priest) but that isn't the picture that sells newspapers. So now parents do not let their children play outside because of the fear created by rags like the Daily Mail.
Parties of the Right find it difficult to win support of the people by saying, let the 1% have 50% of the wealth, they were born to enjoy it and you work 60 hours a week in a shitty job for minimum wage with periods of unemployment. So they on one hand bring in immigrants to lower wages and then stir up racism by blaming the least powerful people the immigrants, they take your jobs, cause crime, rape your women.
