You can't generalise like that.

Some journalists do a terrific job (mps scandal etc)

And some are the lowest of the low

They report the politicians shit and add a touch more of their own for good measure.

All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest

Politicians elevate lying to an art form and frequently get away with it.

Journalists are now more often stenographers for the establishment than anything else.

Take your pick.

Journalists - doom mongers. If some statistician says 40,000 will die of covid-19 and some say 5000,000 then they will be all over the latter and try to supress those who give a more measured approach

It's neither, there have been and still are some very good journalists and equally some politicians..

Problem is when one profession is demonised and attacked sometimes literally, see trump/putin etc because they are not loyal lap dogs for the cause/regime certainly in the free world democracy tends to be lessened..

In the briefings? Journalists.

They are the ones creating panic, doom and confusion not the politicians.

They are useless, not one question on the unusable gowns, just questions about sunbathing

Get rid of them and get more questions from the public on.

I'd say a dangerous killer virus is causing the panic

Boris has created real doom and confusion

Confusion with his mixed messages and late actions

And doom with the resulting death toll

"Journalist their to busy trying to make and twist news interested stead of just telling us wtf has just happened "

That doesn't ring true when it was the journalists asking questions about PPE, that there have been so many deaths amongst NHS and care staff sort of suggests the journalists were spot on with that..

It was the government spinning the reality and even suggesting the shortages were partly to blame because of misuse..

I think this is how the government is making a lot of decisions, by feeding the journalists bits of info then see how it goes down. A bit like the coming sundays road map by boris.

Journalist; they got the country to vote for Brexit and now they're trying to stir up the nation over how the government's handling thin pandemic. "

They aren't stirring up the public enough about Boris's failings

Boris has failed with poor decisions and newspapers full of people clapping and walking laps of their gardens

Try a world without both and see where that lands you.

There are very good journalists and very bad ones, politicians too. To naively lump all together is ignorant in the extreme. To do so is part of the issue - life appears to have become so very polarised. This is wrong, this is right. This is good, this is bad. He/she is evil, he/she is a saint.

We all know from our own experience that life is complex and a large number variables impinge on outcomes.

Too binary. Some great politicians, some shit. Same with journalists. A lot of people seem to coating a lot of journalists for simply reporting figures or stuff happening showing why Boris and co are so inept. Portrayed as not supporting their country. I'd of thought it was the best way to support your country by telling it when it's being shafted.

And this - their complicity in the gaslighting of the electorate- is why I’d rank those journalists lower than the politicians who are pulling their strings.

There’s no accounting for that*. Just how bad would things have to get?

*Actually, there is: skilful news management from no 10, slogans for the weak-minded, bullshit like “we’re in this together” etc etc...

They're both crucial, they both have good and bad points, both are fucking up badly at the moment, both can have terrible consequences.

We need to be critical of and hold both to account.

That's an easy one.

How many politicians got fired for lying and became journalists because the standards were lower?

When you say worst, at what do you mean .?

We elect politicians and as such can express our opinion of them at the electorate poll. Likewise we are not compelled to buy newspapers and could simply stop buying them if we believe that they were misleading us.
