Similar to the whole "stop going after Boris, he's clearly trying to do his best in a shit situation".
If that's an "own goal" by the media, and it's driving people to (more) extremists news sources, we've got much larger issues.
To be fair, I do think we're somewhat fucked. But I don't think a spad deeply tied to government coronavirus policy being held to account for ignoring those policies is something that's going to result in a spike in breitbart readers. Especially to the extent that other media sources meet to be careful reporting it.
Readers / viewers thinking "what bastards, going after that man who was only trying to act in the best interests of his family!" then running off to Brietbart or whatever.
