The dire financial staits of the print media in general go a long way to explaining the feverish manufacturing and concoction of an imaginary political crisis. Anything to sell a putrid rag eh?
The other, often overlooked, matter regarding our journalists is that they are not exactly Rhodes Scholars. There is the odd one with an Arts or Stamp Collecting degree, however they are generally down with the also runs in the academic stakes.
It is a bad mistake to let the media dummies call the tune.
