Do you think this involves one media company or a few of them?
There are faults on both sides. Reporters for trying to take an undemocratic part in the political process because of their perceived power in influencing the electorate, and politicians in believing that they have to accommodate the reporters if they want to win elections.

It probably does involve more news organisations, but hasn't the perception always been (rightly or wrongly) that the party that gets The Sun on its side will win the election?
