BBC's Mason Twists Sue Gray Story to Distract from Tory Failures, Classic Weasel Move!

Let’s be real for a minute, when it comes to BBC’s Mason writing about Sue Gray, you can’t help but notice the sneaky way he plays the game. It’s like he’s trying to stir the pot but keeping his hands clean, a proper weasel move. Every time he’s penning a piece, especially around Sue Gray, there’s this undercurrent of suspicion, like he’s crafting a narrative rather than just reporting facts.

Now, Sue Gray is a name that’s come up a lot recently, from the Partygate report to her switch to Labour. The thing is, instead of sticking to the facts, Mason seems to be focusing more on the drama around her. He’s quick to hint that she’s some sort of secret Labour stooge, but he’s dead quiet on the years of service she gave while working under Tory governments. You see, it’s not just what Mason says, it’s what he doesn’t say that gets under your skin.

The bloke always seems to focus on the controversy. When Sue Gray shifted to Labour, Mason had a field day. But was he digging into why such a top civil servant would switch sides? Nope. Instead, he’s framing it as Labour pulling a fast one. Conveniently leaving out that Sue Gray has been respected by all parties until she crossed paths with the Tories. It’s like Mason’s articles are designed to make you think, “There’s something dodgy about this woman,” when really, she’s been doing her job for years without issue.

What makes him seem weasel-like is the way he dances around accountability. Mason throws enough shade to keep the headlines dramatic, but never enough for it to come back on him. He’s part of the same media machine that likes to distract people from the real issues, like how the Tories have been running the country into the ground. But instead, he’s focusing on who Sue Gray had lunch with. Who cares? 

It’s a classic media tactic, though, isn’t it? Keep people focused on the so-called scandals that don’t really impact their day-to-day lives. Make them think Sue Gray’s choice to join Labour is some big conspiracy, while the Tories quietly kept the country in a mess. It’s the type of reporting that’s more about clicks than clarity. And that’s why Mason comes off as a weasel, always shifting the focus away from the real issues, with just enough venom to get folks riled up about the wrong things.

So, next time you see a Mason piece about Sue Gray, ask yourself: What’s he really not saying? The weasel is good at causing distraction, but don’t let him fool you.
