It is, in fact, astonishing to see how, in less than four years, politicians and journalists have turned an honest, compassionate, decent politician into a hate figure. This comes near the end of the alert. Is it at all "astonishing"? I wouldn't have expected anything less. Perhaps they should have said, "It isn't surprising -- in fact it would have been astonishing -- if in less than four years, politicians and journalists hadn't tried to, and succeeded, in turning an honest, compassionate, decent politician into a hate figure." I'm well aware of the point the editors at Media Lens are trying to make -- drawing attention to the unprecedented media onslaught against Corbyn. But that's what we all expected to happen anyway. To pretend that Corbyn was likely to get a fair deal from the UK media, especially the BBC and the fraudian, is living in fairyland. And wait until if and when he gets to No. 10. Then there'll be a shitstorm that makes Corbyn's present treatment by the corporate media look like a genteel vicarage tea-party.
