The media's general fixation with Dominic Cummings, with their countless calls for him to be fired, provides an insight into what they are motivated by.

Ultimately focused on engineering high-profile scalps under a prevailing style of sensationally cheap "gotcha journalism".

As well as being poorly trusted in comparison to other sectors/industries, my general view is that much of the mainstream media has been utterly woeful in the coronavirus daily briefings.

Clear lack of cutting questions with a genuine bit of thought behind them. Truly dire.

One of the greatest benefits of a free press, should be having a talented group of individuals who are able to identify weaknesses in policy formulation, scrutinise political decisions made, and question politicians in a robust and informed manner.

Seen very little of this.

As a British democrat, this concerns me.

Much of our democratic system of governance's strength, rests on the quality of the official party opposition and the professionalism of the media industry.

The dominance of personal squabbles and petty one-up-manship, is very worrying.
