She said ' it would be helpful if broadcasters were willing to be a bit patriotic' . This is a view of the role of the media shared in a more extreme form by every dictatorship or de facto dictatorship ever and currently in particular by Turkey, China, N.Korea and Russia. It is a crass, stupid, irresponsible ( journalists in Russia for example are frequently murdered because they criticise Putin) comment to make. It smacks of the 'judges are the enemy of the people ' and Ralph Miliband hates Britain' DM approach - but then AL looks like the archetypal DM reader. Anyway, social media are loving her comments - she is a supremely stupid woman who was caught out in lies during the leadership campaign
