MPs have been judged by newspaper on Sleaze, sexual deviancy and more. Productions can often be ruined by poor reviews from powerful reviewers such as the New York Times.
Media is in a great position of influence. Yet many journalists see fit to abuse this privilege. They rubbish any old thing if it makes good copy. Sleaze allegations are made so that people are found guilty through "trial by paper". If papers are going to do this they have to offer well researched and balanced articles. The Guardian's sleaze scoops have concentrated on the Tories. Admittedly they've been looking the most guilty but really the paper should have offered evidence on all those MPs involved instead of just printing bits and pieces. People should be judged on the whole facts and not just a view which a paper wishes to portray. Ok, so The Guardian is liberal, verging on Labour this election, but still, they're good journalists and shouldn't play the con-artists.
We should try and kill this sound-bit seeking mud-slinging muddle that is ruining the overall tone of the UK media and the general election run-up.
