A press that is trusted less than the government cannot hold the government to account. It can only lecture. People who have already decided you are not straight with them do not take your word on the prime minister.
The lesson is brutal but clear: in the modern political arena, fractured individual forces are doomed to failure. A collection of solitary actors, no matter how principled, will always be crushed by a disciplined, coordinated machine.
The media have shown once again how their intended bias puts them at serious odds with public opinion.
