    Really annoy me - how about this one from Sky News
    Headline is a Third of Britons think the Police have gone too far - good negative headline there
    conveniently ignoring the fairly obvious fact that that that means far more Britons are happy with the way the Police are behaving. - even worse when you read the article that 32% think the police have gone too far in some cases

    https://news.sky.com/story/coronavi...e-gone-too-far-in-enforcing-lockdown-11970244

    What is the point of such a misleading and negative headline - oh I know a headline that the majority of the pulblic support the way most police forces are handing the lockdown is far too positive and supportive of us

    There are of course far worse examples especially in the press but this is just wrong

    It’s almost as if the majority of media outlets are owned by sh*t stirring ars*holes.

    It’s a good job no one took notice of the media headlines during the brexit debate or we’d be in real trouble!!!
