=== Scum Media Deserves It (01:57) ===

[00:00:00]  Scum media is currently trending on Twitter because, as Robin Hood points out, you get what you fucking deserve, media.
[00:00:07]  Everyone can see the way that you are behaving towards Dominic Cummings and Boris.
[00:00:13]  Cummings is going to be putting out a statement, apparently, at four o'clock.
[00:00:16]  I don't know what it's going to be, a press conference, what the Prime Minister's assistant, an aide that has been hired by the Prime Minister for advice, is going to make a public statement.
[00:00:26]  That's such a bizarre thing to be happening, isn't it?
[00:00:28]  But the thing is, media, don't sit there and think that people are thrilled with you.
[00:00:33]  As YouGov polls have shown, about 25% think that the media's coverage of the coronavirus has been good, and around 48% think it has been bad.
[00:00:43]  You don't exactly have the best approval ratings, do you?
[00:00:46]  Perhaps you could consider this before, and let me make a prediction.
[00:00:50]  It will sound like this.
[00:00:52]  Dominic, why did you put lives at risk by going to visit your parents?
[00:00:56]  Even though the reason has been given and it was because he wanted to give his kids to them while he was suffering from the coronavirus, isn't it?
[00:01:04]  Isn't it quite obvious?
[00:01:06]  I mean, again, it's just a car journey.
[00:01:09]  It's a car journey.
[00:01:10]  It's not the end of the world.
[00:01:11]  He didn't do anything that is out of the ordinary.
[00:01:13]  I've taken, everyone's taken car journeys.
[00:01:16]  Okay, his one was much further than at most people's.
[00:01:18]  Fine, but it's still just a car journey.
[00:01:21]  Like, the idea that this is some high crime is crazy.
[00:01:25]  And at least he had a good reason for it, did he not?
[00:01:28]  It's not like the guy who just wanted to get laid.
[00:01:30]  And even then, I don't think that he should be, you know, pilloried for what he did.
[00:01:35]  It's not the end of the world.
[00:01:37]  Like, it's just funny.
[00:01:38]  It's funny that they're hypocrites.
[00:01:40]  It's funny that they're just like everyone else.
[00:01:42]  I mean, this is just not the worsted thing.
[00:01:44]  And yet the media is going to make it out, like, this is terrible, even when they're not social distancing either, are they?
[00:01:53]  God, everyone is such a hypocrite.
[00:01:54]  I'm sick of hearing it.
[00:01:55]  Anyway, I'm looking forward to Dominic Cummings' press conference.
