(that was the general public) Encouragement of the above because it makes good copy (media) Marketing campaign gone to hell and damage control (Labour) Point scoring and general juvenile behaviour for marketing reasons(Opposition) |

| 61956 | 2002-07-13 04:52:00 | Terry, I'm surprised you had that much faith in the mass media that you would be shocked at this. The function of the mass media is to entertain, not inform! Thus accuracy on political reporting is no more important than making sure the same props are used in consecutive scenes in any other work of TV fiction. The reporting on this issue is being done in such a way as to highlite an entertaining shitthrowing match, thus avoiding any intelligent debate, or information on the issue itself. |
