From sunny Bournemouth...

Yes I think I might have to concede this one. I was working under the assumption that the mass of hysterical ignorant fucks we call the public actually had some opinion-forming capability. But you're probably right.

Not that I excuse our 'propagandic press'. Of course, they exert influence (please say you don't read the Daily Mail). But to denationalise this conversation a little and widen the debate, how about a new topic?

Does the media (at large) reflect or dictate public opinion?
