Guy from the Times was on BBC Breakfast this morning. He did a good job in my opinion. Didn't shirk from helmets, RLJing etc but addressed them full-on. Said essentially that cyclists can certainly help themselves but that this paled in contrast to what other changes needed to be made.
In my opinion if cyclists go in too hard and frothing straight away you alienate drivers. Whilst this "them" and "us" atmosphere might serve someone's purpose I think the Times seems to have it pretty right going a bit more "softly softly" in the hope that instead of alienating all drivers, some will actually be won over.
