Let’s be blunt – British journalists are a pack of wankers.
I’m sure there are odd exceptions to the rule, but most of them have shown
themselves up as complete c***s of the first order. I’ve actually heard a debate on one of the
News channels about how untidy the government representatives making announcements
look. Is the obsession with image so important that they think the Covid19
briefings should be done by immaculately turned-out politicians? Personally, I
think the British public can see beyond the tiredness and hear the messages the
experts are trying to get across, without being distracted by how their fringe
looks. And the point is – they ARE experts. The people trying to trip them up
and dissect their announcements to death are just pseudointellectual
garbage-spewing pond scum.
And the MPs and specialists are being so NICE to
them. It amazes me. I’d love to see an honest answer given one day. Like this,
for example:
“I
have a question. Isn’t it difficult for people to feel confident in your plan
because they know there’s no exit strategy?”
“No,
I think it’s difficult for the public to have confidence in us because they’re
being constantly bombarded by broadcasters with misinformation, and when we do
make a clear point it gets pulled apart and pissed on within minutes of its
announcement by self-serving, responsibility-swerving people in TV studios. If
everyone watched this announcement and ignored everything else, they’d feel
more reliably informed and more optimistic.”
I also have an idea for a way to improve the morale
of the public, and probably to help the NHS feel more supported at the same
time. That hideous waste of a body called Laura who works for the BBC (I can’t
even bring myself to acknowledge her full name) should be locked in the Tower
of London with her hands stuck over her mouth. I think that would help improve EVERYBODY’s
mood.
