Oborne is only "right on the money" if you ignore an awful lot. The MSM did not invent the grooming gangs nor the Islamist terror attacks which have killed and maimed so many. Nor did the media invent the Batley teacher in hiding, along with his family, in fear of his life several years after 'offending' muslim sensibilities in a school lesson. Nor did it invent the hapless woman and her son, forced from their home after all too credible threats of violence following her son's scuffing a copy of the Koran. The press conference where she cravenly apologised to so-called community leaders while senior police officers spoke only to thank them for their 'tolerance' - too frightened to even utter the law let alone uphold it - is an all-time low. Just in case anyone is unclear, it's not an offence to scuff a book but it is to threaten people.

Nor did it invent Salman Rushdie, living under threat of death since publishing a novel that 'offended' some and I'm pretty sure the media didn't invent the attack on him in which he lost an eye. I'm also sure they didn't invent the murder of Sir David Amess, killed by an Islamist at a constituency surgery - strange that Oborne references Jo Cox's murder but not that of Amess nor the stabbing of another MP. One might draw the conclusion that only right-wing violence counts.

I think a lot of people are coming to see that violence and intimidation work - and I don't think it's Nigel Farage or Tommy Robinson who taught that particular lesson.
