all right mine's phil i like talking about politics and it's also friday so i'm going to take a dive into the brexit press again in this video i'll be discussing how the hardest of hard brexit papers the express has now written an article blaming brexit for the food shortages but first if you'd like to be notified of daily news and politics please subscribe to the channel and click the bell notification icon so it's a bit of an odd one and i'm conscious of the fact that i'm talking about the express again uh where there are other brexit media i don't mean to pick on them i really don't but they just seem to have the greatest capacity to surprise me i i'm in a constant state of childlike wonder when i browse these pages but this one was a real surprise because for a while the way it worked is the pro brexit media which is most of the media in this country avoided talking about food shortages at all they just didn't talk about it then when it became undeniable enough for just like most people to go oh the shortages here where the supermarkets couldn't cover up for it by just putting more of something else on the shelves then they were reporting it but they reported it being down to the so-called pandemic workers having to isolate after being told by the covid app that they've been in close contact with someone testing positive and that's that's the way they're running that's the way a lot of the media are still running it this week even though the pandemic is now no longer because the government rules have changed so you don't have to isolate if you've been double vaccinated now they run this headline quote fury erupts as boris's handling of food shortage crisis it's a brexit issue this is somewhat remarkable now the article itself which i'll get onto makes a lot of use of quotes from business leaders in the supply chain blaming brexit you could certainly read the article as presenting a viewpoint that brexit is to blame rather than objective statement there aren't any real comments in the article itself more just quotes which is at least factual they also did the usual pro-government media trick of ending the article with a quote from the government on ways they are trying to help without any critical analysis of what the statement says thus potentially leaving their readers in the false belief that the governments are on with it so i guess i'll have to pick that apart myself but the point is that for those who just read the headline which a lot of people do a lot of people just read the headline they may read the odd article um they see brexit being blamed for the food shortages oh i thought it was the ping deming no no it's brexit making it probably the most accurate headline to appear in the paper for a little while but even those reading the article will see quote after quote from different people not one person and there's no like balance it's not like you know professor x says that it's due to brexit and then dr wise says i don't know it's actually this other thing no no it's all consistently blaming brexit
