I would much prefer that the press focussed on bills being proposed and those in the initial stages of the process, rather than pretend to be apoplectic when terrible legislation gets royal assent (i.e. too late).
We absolutely need to be more worried and indignant over legislation in the very initial stages, regardless of the risk of 'crying wolf'.

With for example the snoopers charter (version 1.0) there was time for the implications to be discussed in public.
