"...In a pre-democratic age neither the press nor Parliament itself filled the constructive role each was later to define for itself: the contribution of both was often negative...." JCD Clark, p 130.
I would just point out that, in a democratic age, these institutions have made no more of a positive contribution than they had done in the pre-democratic age.
Each defining its role as constructive involves a fallacy, even if true on other grounds, which not.
