I was listening to a British podcaster who was guesting on one of my usual shows and he mentioned that in the U.K. there’s this extremely lethal sense of “politeness” regarding the bureaucratic responsibility for COVID deaths. They explained that regardless of your political leanings or loyalties, no one in the whole media sphere is willing to come out and say “Boris really hosed this up and the Tory’s are directly responsible for all these horrible yet easily preventable deaths!”

is this the case?

yeah we've already been through this with the austerity deaths. a report came out suggesting 100,000+ people had died because of huge cuts to social and medical care
but if you bring it up you're a fringe lunatic because if that had really happened someone would do something about it

same with grenfell etc, if you gently caress up bad enough you can't be punished because it'll put the country in a bad light

ah yes, the videos that were recommended were him by-your-logicking leave callers back in 2016 and then I cleared my history and it stopped, so the next time I saw him a copuple of years later he was melting down over corbyn and immediately went into my "smarmy shithead lib" box

I know it's from earlier in the day but when everyone is praising Piers loving Morgan of all people as being the rabid pitbull of investigative combat journalism, can we please remember a few things: as editor of the Daily Mirror, he allowed heavily photoshopped pictures of British squaddies torturing Iraqis to run on the front page without checking the veracity of the source; has hounded Meghan Markle into areas that are approaching "creeping racist stalker" territory for the sole reason that she snubbed him at a party once; blamed Raheem Sterling getting a gun tattoo for the increase of knife violence in the inner cities of the UK; threatened to throw himself off Santa Monica pier if Arsenal sold Robin van Persie to Man United

yeah the point is that hes insanely loving poo poo and a terrible person but is somehow the only media figure willing to break ranks over preventable megadeath
so that paints our media in an even worse light, not him in a better one.

Honestly I doubt she's even in the top 10. There are a huge amount of real dim public schooled adults out there writing articles.
