I like and admire the Queen, but I also wonder about this. How much of our admiration is the result of the British media giving the Queen essentially 100% positive coverage at all times for 70 years straight?

(Unlike politicians, who will be gone in 4 years or so anyway, media outlets are terrified of upsetting the royal family, who are permanent).
