JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: COLUMNIST ZOE WILLIAMS WRITES OF POLITICIANS' ABILITY TO NEVER GIVE A STRAIGHT ANSWER - YES BUT IT IS THE PRESS WHICH MAKES THE POLITICIANS' DUMBSHOW POSSIBLE


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY ZOE WILLIAMS IN THE GUARDIAN


"Never give a straight answer: how I learned to talk like a politician'

The ultimate answer to this annoying practice is remarkably simple: stop interviewing politicians.

You never get any information anyway.

But the press would never do that, would it?

So who is the real villain?

Or is it a dark marriage of convenience?
