The media& #39;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& #39;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.
