I think the media has a careful line to walk here because they will need to judge the public’s mood and interest on it before deciding to go for blood. If they call it wrong it will be an own goal.
What's an own goal from the perspective of the media? I'm not sure what the risk which they need to be careful of is here. Other than readers/viewers not caring or sympathising.

Ok. I’m guessing that a lot of people have better things to be angry about than this or they just didn’t really ‘do’ lockdown (ie my downstairs neighbours in the bastards thread) so will not care. Unless they are a dedicated non Cummings sympathiser, obvs.
