Reporting should be factual and informative not highly opinionated. There's little doubt that reporting during this election run-up has been flooded by attempts to influence the outcome.

As to matters of security, if Laws are proposed to deal strongly with "radical" talk or anything connected with extreme views, that will be jumped on by do-gooders and liberals (with a small "l") as restricting freedom of expression or free speech. When anything bad happens, there will be howls of protest that not enough is being done to stop such things. It seems that any government trying to deal with it can't do right for doing wrong?

In places such as this, it's pretty clear that any comment by the "opposing side" is jumped on and criticised no matter what's been said. It's impossible to have a reasonable discussion under such circumstances.
