Sir Lynton Crosby has blamed the media for stoking up a “mob mentality” around issues like Dominic Cummings’ trip, Black Lives Matter and the #MeToo movement.
In a rare podcast interview with Sky News, Sir Lynton – who masterminded many of the Conservative election victories in recent decades – warned the coverage of these matters “alienates many, many voters”
He said journalists often increase the intensity of a particular debate when they would be better off sticking to the facts.
He spoke to Sky’s Economics Editor Ed Conway and co-host and former Chancellor Sajid Javid on Sky’s The World Tomorrow podcast.
