If the press is giving Farage such a platform it must, as ITV News has done, scrutinise. That this isn't being reported prominently is astonishing.

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.

The media are always a lagging indicator, piling on after events threaten to overtake them. This was true in the McCarthy era, in the Vietnam era, in the Watergate era, the Iraq War era. By the time the media say something is bad and failing, the public has already turned decisively against it.
