Oh dear! It would have nothing to do with the much larger contingent of counter-protestors would it?

Talbot...you would support the BNP ? Really !
Well, at least you have been honest to admit I suppose.
And as you can see, he also cherry-picks. Using half of my post to try and make a spurious claim.
Using mikey logic he must be a supporter of radical Islam. (maybe it is the ingrained misogyny that attracts him)

Andy > My perception is that all these ‘fascist’ organisations achieve fare more media coverage than their either merit or deserve. It is utterly disproportionate to their value, or effect on society as a whole, since they are largely highly vocal...
Take Pegida for example across Europe, would it be wrong for the media to highlight the growing support and angst irrespective of whether it is merited or deserved as you put it?

I think there is a line to be drawn between reporting the news, which is the news media's raison d'etre, and whipping up a fear factor that is not merited.
I have noticed over the last ten - fifteen years, that our media has followed the American lead, and used its position to become a harbinger of doom, when facts and evidence do not bear out their prophesies.
Remember 'bird flu', 'death of the bumble bee', 'GM foods' - and so on and so forth?
These media campaigns can lead to utterly disproportionate anxiety and fear in society, and that cannot be a god thing.
So of course they should report issues, but that should be tempered with a sense of realism, rather than an eye on circulation.
