It shuts down debate when you come out with that line as a way of defending the government rather than debating as to why they may have taken the decisions they did.
It wasn't media scaremongering that resulted in toilet roll hoarding though was it?
It was the myth that all of our toilet roll comes in from China and that led to a minority that believed that buying shed loads of it, then others saw that minority hoarding it and thought "fuck why are they hoarding all the bog roll!? They know something we don't" so they hoarded it too, then obviously you ended up with supply being outstripped by demand.
Then people share pictures of empty shelves on social media and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
Not sure how that was the media's fault at all? And certainly not one that warrants an investigation?
