Eloquently put. The role of the independent media in the erosion of democracy is a vexing issue, and one that human rights law doesn't have a good answer to.

Imagine if senior ministers in the UK actually stood up for the European human rights system & explained the real reason why some opposition parties want the UK to leave it - to take away people's rights. Throwing the ECHR & Council of Europe under the bus is not the way to build support for it.
