I haven't accepted the media portrayal at all. However, I am being realistic in how the general public at large will react to the media portrayal, and how politicians and council planners will react to the media portrayal. And I also take issue with your "motorists do their own disruption" point. I'm not saying they don't do it - I'm just asking how it is that the actions of somebody else affect whether a particular action by cyclists is right or wrong.
