“a political movement [Black Lives Matter] whose core principles aim to undermine our very way of life”
Boy, that is such a telling statement!
Crucially, this time ministers don’t have the largest megaphone.
I love how this argument conveniently elides the issue of why they have the biggest megaphone. Just like the earlier statement "First, they make sure this cultural dispute is the topic discussed on the morning broadcast rounds that set the news agenda for the day, rather than pesky issues such as rising Covid-19 cases or the lack of financial support for people self-isolating." That's news to me that the politicians make the decisions for the news media of what they're going to cover. They could choose to ignore this BS and instead focus on exactly those issues (or, for that matter, a ton of other important news that gets neglected due to such a focus on COVID reporting). But that would mean taking responsibility by how they use these talking points for their own financial benefit.
I'm also reminded of Jason Sudeikis being asked by Stephen Colbert about a t-shirt he wore to a premiere which listed the names of the 3 affected England players. He pointed out that he only wore a shirt.
