Yes, but if Corbyn continues to hold the views he holds he just won't get a fair hearing from a press that is essentially owned by oligarchs whose interests he threatens. He could change his views and the Labour Party's policies to suit them, and then he would get a fairer hearing.
So it’s fake news, despicable journalists, the media really are the enemy of the people.
I never said any of those things. I very much support good, honest, press coverage that holds powerful people to account - and I would very much welcome it
.
I hate Trump, I hate this post-truth crap and I hate the undermining of facts that you don't like by shouting FAKE NEWS or SOROS or whatever at journalists, and the vast majority of it is coming from the far right.
Most of what we're talking about here is "opinion journalism" and in that he's fucked in the vast majority of the press and also - despicably - in the public service broadcast media.
But Corbyn is not a communist spy. Yet that was on the front page of the Sun. That is fake news by despicable journalists who are - in that instance - the enemies of any people who you think deserve truthful reporting. In fact, I'd probably argue that a whole load of the British print media operates directly against the interests of most of their readership.
Corbyn and Momentum will use social media to produce their own stuff and to find friendlier voices there. And he has a chance of fair coverage and maybe even support in the Guardian, Independent, and Mirror of the mainstream, national press - he should try to work with what he can get there.
Do you think Dan Hodges, for example, is going to give Jeremy Corbyn a fair hearing, on anti-Semitism or any other issue?
