And Finally…
In this week’s episode of London Calling, James and I discuss Rotten Tomatoes’ decision to disable the ‘Audience Score’ button for the new Fauci documentary, the New York Times‘s embarrassing correction about the number of children who’ve been hospitalised in the US with COVID-19 (revising it downwards from 900,000 to 63,000), the introduction of vaccine passports in Wales after a botched vote in the Welsh Assembly, the new Bond film (which neither of us has seen) and my disastrous interview with Lynn Barber in 2006.

Press review – 5 stars “Most realistic movie since sharknado 2”
Audience score has since dropped to 2%. If any one thing ever highlighted the bias, propaganda and corruption among the media and how out of touch it is with public opinion, this is it.
Was thinking this myself before seeing your comment. The media applaud the film – the public disparage it. There is no journalism anymore – just state, corporate and advert sponsored fluff pieces.
I wonder how many film reviewers didn’t want to upset the apple cart and give an honest review to get their early film previews.
It’s been going on a long long long time now. I think the first time the manipulation of reviews was really noticed was the woeful ghostbusters reboot
