Paraphrasing Attila - In Government they are taught to treat the electorate like six year olds. If you ask them a question on any subject most of them can only come up with 3 words we identify with that thing. The words depend on what our concerns are or what the newspapers tell us our concerns are.

I believe social media is replacing newspapers as the main source. News consumption in the UK: 2024

This is a risk as it is less trustworthy - due to having fewer checks and reduced traceability.
