The News agenda and the Documentary agenda are completely at odds, at the moment.
The News agenda = “bush dog tony dog yobbos jihadis pandemics war crimes”
The Documentary agenda = “Ah, Britain. Glorious, glorious Britain. Great Britain. Its graceful rivers, its noble coast, its rich and proud history, its traditions, and Admiral Lord Nelson! We’re all in it together. It will all work out fine.”
The Documentary agenda is playing the same role that The West Wing did during Bush’s presidency. It is the plausible counterfactual.
