TV / Radio could investigate newspapers on Corbyn and referendum

Needs more space than a tweet.

Ask again, why not report what Corbyn actually said during the referendum about the EU?

See previous posts. It was positive, it was intended for potential Labour voters.

Fact Sarah Smith said only today that a third of Labour supporters voted Leave. this means that two thirds voted Remain. Not a bad result.

But my guess is that the Blame Corbyn move was well prepared. the media bias has been fed from time to time, possibly with good intentions. Current drift of Labour gets more solid though.

So what is the pressure for Corbyn to move on support for Single Market about? .Observer reports it will "infuriate" Corbyn. Is that the aim? Is there any intention to persuade him?


TV seems to be shifting a bit. @Peston has graphics on newspaper bias during election and also shift from newspapers to social media. Sunday Politics has remarks from @Telegraph on social media, slightly less of a shift.

Maybe somebody would talk frankly about what happened during the referendum? How was it decided that Corbyn got on TV or not? Was Lord Mandelson too close to the City and Cameron? Did this influence anything if so or to what extent?

Why did Channel 4 block Corbyn from showing a clip from  Last Leg on his own YouTube channel?

Were the heckles reported by BBC plants by from Portland and the Lib Dems ?

Not sure who reads this anyway. Maybe 50 people max, but some sort of record.

Bias against Corbyn is massive and continues. Tory MPs on TV today seem to have no idea that smear is negative for them. Newspapers in their own bubble.

If the Single Market lobby wants to get Corbyn to make their case, why not go back to some actual facts?
