Unabashedly partisan cover story on The Sun's website using Shepard Fairey Obama iconography to make a pitch for the Tories and their leader, David Cameron.
The Daily Mirror wasn't so charitable::

The Daily Mirror had two stories, one urging Britons to think of the children and a puff piece on Lils {Lily Allen} tweeting a pic of herself in front of her polling station with the message "Come on the Reds." Cincinnati? Oh, Labour.
I'm not sure why but I don't mind journalism being so overtly partisan. I like to know where they stand overtly and I don't like papers thinking they're hiding behind some veneer of objectivity, but aren't fooling anyone.
Song:: Arcadia-'Election Day'
Twitter:: UK papers overtly political on the front/home page, which I find refreshing.Plus, now I know Lily Allen voted Labour.OMG! @Prof_K
