There’s such a thing as trusting a literary class because it comes with having it.
In a sense we’re sort of left in the lurch.
It’s not always a good situation to be in. It means we can’t contradict views or perspectives we don’t subscribe to, necessarily.
It also means, at times, the UK is misrepresented in the worst ways. I mean across all titles, not just a few.
Take a newspaper for example which didn’t like American entrepreneur Elon Musk all that much, and you’ll get my drift.
They decided to “give him a shot”, as it were, or try him out for size, in other words.
Unfortunately, their debates turned into insults, acrimony, and name-calling.
It was all overheard, of course, and put down on record. They called him a “useless billionaire”, who “doesn’t give money to poor kids”, allegedly. It reflects badly.
The writer’s we have are seen elsewhere as being ours, so it matters. I wish it didn’t, at times. It would be a lot easier.
