That blog is excellent. That's the issue there, we've allowed the media, esp the papers

in tehir desperate battle for ratings/sales to stop reporting news.
They now look for the 'angler' the 'story' the way to make it 'sensational' while ensuring they can't get sued.

Which jsut involves burying the actual facts in the body under a nice screaming headline.

People are voting becasue of this style of reporting, and also becuase the main parties seem unable to present the true facts.
