Reply With Quotereflects the views and attitudes of the population not the other way round. In other words - the people need to grow up first
“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?
Look, people dont want grey areas, they want easy characatures. The last thing they want to do is have to think about anything. If anything has a tonality to it then they'll start coming to all sorts of opinions on their own and then what good will a media built around telling everyone to think be?
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?
watch output based on personality politics than serious reportage or comment.
If Corbyn thinks the majority of the populace are cretins for this – which clearly from his comments he does – why is he so keen to give these same cretins a voice through his "new kind of politics"?
And why are you so keen to a defend a person who thinks the majority of the populace are cretins?
