Fed up being told what to think?

[jimmi9]

Anyboy else feeling fed up at being told what to think, what do about this election - everywhere u turn, tv, press opinion expresed like gossip rather than giving real information passed on to help u make up your own mind. If they just left us alone to think for a moment, might actually come up with a decision thats mine all mine. Grrr...

no one tells me what to think,i have capacity and volition.and general election campaign i expect duplicitous goons promising lots.goes with territory

Quite right! I agree with U. I know who I am voting for and for what reasons, I'm just totally fed up with the media obsession with the trivialities of this election. The only hysteria being shown 'everywhere' you look, turn & listen is of the media creation. I just wish the lovely BBC & others and the print press ouly talk more about the policies and their eventual outcomes - i.e. proper scrutiny of all of em. Otherwise its the media itself thats in danger of turning this election into Britains Got Political Talent.
