Peter Williams: Media on the attack

Has there ever been a more co-ordinated media attack on a new government in our history? It’s as if the mainstream media, with one or two very honourable exceptions, has just kept up a non-stop barrage of stories pushing back against government policy, policy that was campaigned on, voted for by a majority on October 14th and then agreed between the coalition partners.

In the eyes of the political left this is not democracy. This is called the tyranny of the majority or a new word which has crept into the lexicon, majoritarianism.
