You Ask Us: will Labour stop the culture wars, and does the government control what journalists report?
The Conservatives seem intent on fighting the next election on "culture wars" issues. A listener asks, would a Labour government put an end to all that?
Also, how does the government control its media messaging? Is there a shadowy office pulling the strings and controlling what journalists report? We look at the concept of "the grid".
Anoosh Chakelian, Rachel Cunliffe and Freddie Hayward answer listener questions.
