Media coverage...

Are they stoking up public concern, getting right or not doing enough?


(mods feel free to add a poll, I can't see how to...)

I have just listened to the BBC R4 latest edition of "More or Less". A model of clarity and level headedness. Highly recommended https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000gwy8

Just heard Laura 'the f^ckwit' Kuennsberg asking the first question of the PM at this evening's briefing... now, of all times, she really, really, really needs to stop trying to appear clever, to stop trying to make the PM / Gov't look bad and stop trying to stir-up public concern for her career's sake.

Contrast that with Emily Maitland's questioning of Nadhim Zahawi on Newsnight. He just pointedly avoided direct questions and he tried to accuse her of stirring things up. She gave straight back it was her job and his was to answer questions on numbers and timings for the consortia supplying ventilators and PPE

Didn't see, but have a low opinion of Ms Maitlis, another 'Whatever I do is right because I'm a journalist' type.

Don't have a very high opinion of Mr Zahawi either for that matter...

Haven't watched the news for over three years or any political programmes, most of these interviewers think they are the story and show their political colours constantly,I get news feeds on my phone and reading some of the stuff that the guardian and I have been printing makes my blood boil, saw a Bloomberg article today too, journalism is in a very sorry state

‘The political parasite’ is my pet name for LK - god she is infuriating.

Khunsberg as a voice and delivery like the funeral march and has nothing to contribute, a bit like the whining shadow health secretary who has made such an impression that I cant recall his name

Slightly off-topic, but... ffs, how the hell does this make the news?

Coronavirus: Leeds woman put message in window to ask cat's name

Sian Cosgrove had nicknamed the black and white moggie Eric but he is actually called Walter.
