Chris Mason is what happens when a Hospital Radio DJ, whose sole qualification appears to be a sort of soporific inoffensiveness, is somehow promoted to BBC Politics Editor - a position that demands unflinching insight, objectivity, and sharpness. It's like a puddle trying to be the ocean.

For years the BBC’s coverage of the EU has been too negative.
Between 2001 and 2016, the BBC’s coverage of the EU veered between disinterest and EU-bashing.
Reports about the EU were so negative that Brussels came off worse than Putin.
