“The media treatment of any politician over unsubstantiated allegations, be it David Cameron, me or anyone else, is wrong and too much of our media is obsessed with personality politics, obsessed with personal criticism of politicians and therefore detracting from very serious issues around housing, living standards, jobs or world peace."
Very well said that man.
reflects the views and attitudes of the population not the other way round. In other words - the people need to grow up first
I agree with both of you tbh.
we should be punishing the population? Or at least those of them who bought that paper?
I agree that we shouldn't consider the public to be automata, but are you quite sure that the media never lead public opinion? Where else do ideas come from?
and at no point did I say people in media should be allowed to break the law which is quite a bizarre comeback to my point. Do you honestly believe though the insatiable desire of the public for information on people's private lives is an invention of the media?
- which was obviously what I meant by 'where ideas come from', so no need to be so obtuse about that.
Yeah, and scratch the NotW thing. That was *******s.
which is about the type of journalism which clearly panders to the public need for gossip basically. I am not saying this is right but it is clearly the case
