Some people will be idiots regardless some need encouragement. Let’s put it this way did those ott headlines seen yesterday help to reinforce or weaken the lockdown message?
Which means, idiots will be idiots regardless of what they are told and right minded people, ergo, non idiots, will not be idiots regardless of what they read, so what appears in any press is irrelevant.

impossible to police anyway and hasnt led to gatherings of people doing fake exercising.
Just noticed that the mirror had got it wrong 2 days ago.... Lazy journos
“Since March 23 exercise outside the confines of the home has been limited to just one hour a day”.
This is what Boris said initially (no time limit)
“Taking one form of exercise a day, for example, a run, walk, or cycle: alone or with members of your household”

And then Gove said the following on 29th March;
"I would have thought that for most, a walk of up to an hour, or a run of 30 minutes, or a cycle ride between that, depending on their level of fitness, is appropriate,"

If the Government advisor who advised social distancing breaks a lockdown rule, it’s hardly surprising others think it’s fine to do so and what with a paltry £30 fine (if laid within 30 days)

Ok the press has no influence on people... this will come as a great shock to advertisers and political parties around the world.
I gave them as examples, I didn’t say they had a monopoly on irresponsibility. Here’s an example of idiots being influenced by others. Burning / vandalising 5G masts down wasn’t a thing before some tin foil wearing conspiracy theorists decided to link them to the pandemic via social media. Idiots need direction for their stupid acts sometimes.
Hmmmm, forgive me for being cynical, So as I said before, you refuse to believe that idiots can be idiots without any influence from the press.
