Speaking of the British tabloids, of course. https://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/10/world/europe/10britain.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=globasasa2
The lesson for us is to not take a leading position, be topical, but to report events which have occurred and on which there is some sort of considered opinion and a set of known facts, even if it takes a day or two for them to develop. In the case of these tabloids its going to take months. The power of topical media is two-edged, seemingly exceedingly powerful, king-makers, but, as anyone familiar with our limited resources knows, quite weak if under serious attack, as is being shown in the case of the principals involved in this crisis. The British government is sick of kowtowing to them and seems to have just been waiting for an opportunity.
