Cameron said he wouldn't hold a vote if he wasn't sure he could win it. He has called a vote. Ergo he must be sure he can win it. It's not media bias. It's just following the story.

Yes I realise that. It's factual reporting. Just as when the BBC state the absolute truth when they report what Hunt says about the NHS (I'm not being sarcastic!). It is true he said those things about how the changes will improve healthcare. It is true that Cameron is sure he will win.

It still makes me sick, it's such a distortion of the wider picture, and self-fulfilling in terms of influencing opinion (not a clever response, I'm not very clever about media stuff).
hoefla
Media are now presenting it as absolutely done. "He wouldn't have called a vote if he wasn't sure he would win" is what the BBC said yesterday... Makes me sick.
Oh, that's how it's going to be. Oh well, no point thinking or talking or writing to my MP then. Jolly ho, off to war we go!
