Death by a media pack!

They won't want to admit it but the media have turned a 'phoney leadership war into a real one' (their words not mine!) Grattan, Schubert, Shanahan et al must be leaning over their typewriters lamenting the plight of the Government and salivating over the MPs they have been able to goad into driving their appetite for easy headlines without the investigatory and rigorous reporting that was once a tradition in their profession. They have moved their trade into the 24/7 world and succumbed to not information overload but information over consumption and they have become bloated by their sources!
