It’s Your Fault

Ah, Good Morning Britain, breakfast TV — where the coffee’s lukewarm, the outrage is instant, and the moral lectures come free with your toast. This week, a Good Morning Britain black journalist declared that Britain’s migration issues are, essentially, self-inflicted — payback for the decades of foreign “adventures” in places like Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, and beyond. Cue the collective choking on cereal across the nation.

 The Morning Spin Cycle: When News Becomes Narrative

Let’s be clear — there’s a fine line between context and blame, and morning TV loves to straddle it like a gymnast on a ratings graph. The journalist wasn’t entirely wrong: history does echo. But when complex geopolitics get boiled down to a “we poked our noses, now we pay the price” soundbite, nuance gets flattened faster than a croissant in a toaster. 🥐🔥

And that’s before we even hit the political minefield. Many viewers now feel that media outlets — yes, even the ones that claim to “hold power to account” — have quietly picked sides. Especially when it comes to coverage of parties like Reform UK, where airtime seems inversely proportional to polling numbers.

The question isn’t whether bias exists. It’s whether we’ve stopped even pretending to hide it. When journalism becomes a spectator sport for tribal politics, truth doesn’t stand a chance. 📺⚖️

 Challenges 

Why should news channels act like campaign platforms instead of watchdogs? Is the media reflecting reality — or rewriting it to fit their worldview? Drop your thoughts, fury, or cold realism in the blog comments. 💬🔥
