re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU

Something that's become painfully obvious during the debates is how poorly served we are by our mainstream journalists. I can remember when Andrew Marr and Robert Peston were effective interviewers; they've become way too matey with the various authority figures they interview. It's like they're having a little chat in a gentleman's club .

Contrast this with the performance of the incisive and irreverent interrogations of DC and MG by Sky's Faisal Islam. He was brilliant in taking them to task and it reminded me that politicians serve us, not the other way around.

We need to see more of Faisal on TV imho; he made the interviews exciting and nicely uncomfortable.
