I can’t agree that the question is excellent, NoamS, as it is only about the medium. To reduce the immediate humanitarian problem to the single question of reforming the media seems narrow-minded and puritanical.
More to the point, no argument has been given to suggest this gamble is likely to help – only articulations of ideology have been given, similar to faith as Dan notes.
David Wearing’s call was for an electoral organisation to form to challenge the prevailing orthodoxy. Whereas the price of butter is irrelevant to the discussion. Yet it’s all the same to you. NS, doesn’t this illustrate that accuracy is another casualty of taking extreme viewpoints?
What is the eventual outcome of this "MSM no platform" policy - after many more such bursts of machine gun fire at everyone who tries to reach the public in the MSM, there will soon only be 'pure' people left to campaign – all talking to each other, of course. Or the MSM may collapse. But where's the supporting logic for that outcome?
