Mr. Dave O'Connell:

No only is it eroding it, it is turning it on its head because we are now perceived as the big bad wolf. We are the traditional mainstream media which is an easy stick to beat us with. The reality is that we are accountable. At no point in these proceedings or anywhere else are we looking for a free pass. We will face up to the mistakes that we make, but we are alone in that. Social media does not have to face up to the mistakes they make, yet we are the ones that are dammed through social media and all of that comment.
