Warkgate

Yawn! The Jack McConnell/Kirsty Wark saga of shared family holidays and coffee mornings is one of those excruciatingly boring stories, so characteristic of Edinburgh. Did McConnell break some minor rule? And if so did it really matter?

The real issue is the relationship between television and government, not between McConnell and Wark. Do television companies have preferential access to politicians, parliament and government and if so, does that benefit the public, or does it result in manipulation, trivialization, and the alienation of people from the processes of government?
