A year ago on 13/3/20, @Telegraph ran this headline:
"Anyone questioning the govt's #COVID strategy is not only wrong, they're a danger to us all"
The heat was being turned up on those journalists trying to do their jobs
But was @maitlis’ Cummings monologue the turning point?

The next day, the BBC issued an apology
"It says a lot about the political culture in the UK that the only person who has faced any consequences for Cummings' action is a journalist who pointed them out." @AdamBienkov

By asking why #Cummings hadn’t been sacked by the PM, @maitlis was doing her job
Political journalists NOT asking this question were failing to do theirs
Cummings’ trip to Durham proved to be one of the 2 clear drop points in adherence to lockdown rules.

The victory of Cummings against those who felt he should go (pretty much all of us) was a turning point
The BBC made a public apology for @maitlis & issued staff new guidelines for social media
About 95% of Blue Tick journalists suddenly stopped RTing me
