But when you are making decisions about the future direction of the country you have to look at the whole picture.

The media ought to reflect an accurate representation of current events and contemporary issues.
However some I feel are attempting to inch away from that, the sociopolitical leanings have never been so apparent.
Is it so unusual to suggest that we may just have a government that is not acting in the best interests of the country?
I'm sure that if they were to get something right it would make the 10 O'clock news if only as an anomaly.....
