I listen to the BBC and other outlets and the journalists, talking to the movers and shakers of the world, ‘interpret’ the speeches and words of politicians for the listeners. Words like ‘effective’ ‘strong’ ‘ relaunch’ are all used to describe what has been said and the journalists have more air time than the politicians. It is worse on TV but this is where we are … we cannot make up our own minds we have to be spoon fed and the suggestion is the the journalists have inside information and their adjectives and interpretations are therefore accurate and correct. They are the ones we should listen to.
And who are these appointees, unelected whose political views we either don’t know or know too well? They are now the arbiters of opinion. The cartoonists of the modern age and ironically a satire in themselves.
