A very good point. The media didn't grill Churchill over the decision to send the BEF to Dunkirk, or over the surrender of Malaya, Hong-Kong, and Singapore, etc, and there were no anti-surrender demonstrations or conspiracy theories either. Would a Corona Cabinet work in the same way?I hear what you say Mark but in times of war, the War Cabinet sits and their decisions are final.
Ah.... this merits a separate thread...As can be seen on this thread, folks cannot make a decision whether to use soft toilet paper or softer toilet paper.
Have a small, elected group of politicians with invited experts always on hand to simply advise on their relevant expertise and then have this small group of politicians make decisions that are final and would be implemented.
Should the media be allowed to continually attempt to undermine decisions that are made by our elected government? Letting mayors appear on TV crying their eyes out and demanding more support for that city, or should that be 'more votes for the mayor' The media is there to give balanced reporting. How much air time do they give the mayor of Manchester and straight after that person has had their say, how much time do they give to those that make the decisions? Fair and balanced reporting my hemorrhoids!!!
The media used to act in a fair and balanced nature but does it? does it really?
I think the media has the right to be biased (apart for the publicly-funded BBC), as long as they make a clear distinction between editorials and news, which sadly they don't always do.
