That stuff about negative press and the Government doing their best can obviously sod off in general. However, I am a bit fucking sick specifically of the briefing being used a the forum for journalists asking gotcha questions of the politician there, when there are so many more interesting and productive things that could be asked.

Absolutely, completely agree. The state of journalism here at the moment has them completely misjudging the difference between gotcha questions that the gov will somewhat ignore/not answer straight, and tougher actual questions that raise real criticisms (à la Piers Morgan atm, bleurgh)
The sooner journalism in this country isn't some shoe in oxbridge son/daughter of some senior management/gov advisor situation the better.
