The hypocrisy of the media is breathtaking.
 |
The media campaign has reached beyond hysteria. The labour party describes the claims about Corbyn's visit to the Palestinian cemetery in Tunis as "false and misleading ".
Perhaps a better description would be "lies and scurrilous smear".
With Sky News running the same story as practically their lead item on every bulletin , closely followed by the BBC News adding their contribution to the witch-hunt, the media generally has sunk to depths never before seen in British journalism.
The latest disgraceful offering was the front page of yesterday's Daily Mail, which published the most despicable and reprehensible cover, which even by the contemptible standards normally associated with this rag of a "newspaper" was the most loathsome we have seen to date.
The arguments supporting "Freedom of the Press" are wearing very thin for many observers. Can it be right for the media to abuse their positions by publishing and broadcasting such abusive, outrageous and heinous reports when at the same time individuals can be prosecuted for expressing views, which if printed as a Newspaper Opinion, would be immune from redress?
The hypocrisy of the media is breathtaking. The Conservative politicians, the usual suspects from the Labour ranks and even Prime ministers from other countries who are loudly vocal in this 21st Century example of "McCarthyism" ,demonstrate a cynicism which is both unhealthy and dangerous for the political system.
