Britain votes: How 'terror' shaped the election coverage

When the British Prime Minister Theresa May called a snap election two months ago, her lead in the polls suggested the British Conservatives would run away with a clear majority. But fast forward to election day on June 8, and that scenario vanished into thin air.

Despite opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn being demonised by a majority of the right-leaning press, especially in the aftermath of "terror attacks" in Manchester and London, he and his Labour Party shocked the so-called "experts" by winning enough seats to deny the Conservatives a majority government, one that the papers tried - and failed - to deliver.
