Media Priorities
Sam Tarran makes the point (first noted here) that while our banking system undergoes massive regulatory failure, the media busy themselves with the massively important issue of whether George Osborne has been receiving donations.
To put things into perspective, the Governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King recently admitted that:
Not since the beginning of the first world war has our banking system been so close to collapse.
Compare such an alarming statement on the state of our banking system and economy with the BBC’s Political Editor, Nick Robinson and his account of George Osborne’s trip to Corfu. Someone’s journalistic priorities in the wrong place, wouldn’t you say?
