The Telegraph now resorts to the "reds under the bed" smear tactic.

Jeremy Corbyn hints at Russia ties

Michael Wilkinson, Political Correspondent of the Telegraph

The Telegraph (who else?) enters the smear and discrediting campaign with a scurrilous piece of journalistic absurdity, suggesting that the "Reds under the bed" may not have actually arrived yet, but will soon be with us in the event of Jeremy Corbyn winning the Labour leadership and subsequently becoming Prime Minister. (The Telegraph seems to acknowledge that this is a possibility, in marked contrast to their and the rest of the media views of a few days ago . "Corbyn would be unelectable! and all that nonsense.) The acrimonious campaign against Corbyn and those who support him, both within the Labour party and within the public, has been waged on a daily basis for almost 6 weeks and has demonstrated the depths of maliciousness to which the media and sadly some sections of the Parliamentary Labour Party will sink in order to preserve their position of power and influence in our society. They have waged a campaign of personality and smear rather than policies and debate, a campaign of duplicitous hypocrisy, rather than honesty and truth and now the suggestion that there would be some kind of sinister secret relationship with Russia , exposes Michael Wilkinson, Political Correspondent of the Telegraph as seeking a witch hunt, in the same fashion as the McCarthy committees of the 1950's, to add to the nauseous spectacle of the panic and fear in the media and the right.

Jeremy Corbyn addressing public meeting

Regardless of whether Jeremy Corbyn is declared as the new leader of the Labour party on September 12th or not, the media, television and the right of the PLP, have inflicted severe damage on the credibility of the democratic process in this country and the belief that the media is, on balance, an impartial observer of events. After almost 6 weeks of maliciousness, hypocrisy and acrimony waged against Corbyn and his supporters, it will take some time, to restore credibility.

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria. This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California. Unless they are actually doing some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
