Heard most of first hour of Today so might be how BBC starts the week. Relevance for blog 1 ) now explicit support for Corbyn, important this week, also opposition to Corbyn explains much media past 5 years or so 2 ) "Fleet Street" so obviously propaganda for Conservatives so static in influence that BBC take is more influence though messages linked to print.
They do mention the FT leak on Brexit reality as part of press review. But reporting is that "Get Brexit Done" message is getting through. Apparently #LiarJohnson is much more popular in the North of England than Corbyn. But he is reluctant to get out of the bus. something not adding up in this story. what will happen rest of the week? has BBC got cameras? What I see on Twitter is just a bubble?

BBC Back Story
Scope of this blog still wandering about. I think newspapers have now lost it so much it is the Telly take that matters. Not sure, we seem to be in the dark completely. After the elcetion something may be clear. The papers do not have original reporting, they make things up. times has complaints about television, but no info on how many complaints to BBC were from Labour supporters. So not making much sense.
Russia an issue as supposed source of Labour info on NHS / Trump. the Russia Report creeping into background. So what story has got lost?
Peter Oborne suggests BBC assumes a policy pro government. So pro Conservative when referendum started. then pro Brexit. Reporting very inadequate throughout as far As I can make it out. Brexit turns out to be a disaster project but never explained. BBC too much part of the story to explore it well. when did the Russia angle become part of it? They may not have realised to start with.
But very clear the BBC wants to block Carole Cadwalladr. @afneil tweets, see previous posts.
We are getting almsot no recent history from telly. Leave campaign what happened on law, social media practice? Where are they now? What did Johnson and Gove know about what happened?
Something may turn up in the week. Something to come back to.

Sky News not sure what this is, clues please #Russia #NHS
This blog has become more about social media and telly over time. The newspapers have lost circulation and influence depends on repeats through broadcast. The day has been with Twitter in background, enough to catch up with #politicslive and then I just went to find a Telegraph in print, enough to try to make sense of SkyNews take on Russia leak as sources of Labour info on NHS.
Kay Burley on Laura Pidcock very strange. As if the document on NHS and Trump negotiation might be fake if leaked via Russia. No claims about authenticity in recent days. The Sky release a news story with headline on "Sceptre of foreign influence". turns out to be the same story as Telegraph this morning - Corbyn's Dossier "points to Russians" .
Meanwhile #politicslive claim "you're just making this up" to Labour. seems to be a way to distract from Trump and NHS during his visit.
In the 2017 election the Telegraph claimed the apparent social media support for Corbyn was because of Russian bots. Similar sources - Ben Nimmo and then Oxford Internet Institute, now Computational Propaganda Project.
Still nothing to dispute authenticity of the document. Just seems to be a stream of claims to confuse.
I guess there will be more of this so will check out the stories more later.

Draft for next week, #LiarJohnson, #Trump , #BBC
Next week with Trump in UK for NATO there could be developments around media. My guess is that the election is very polarised around age, with related gaps in media. Conservative voters older and newspapers, Labour younger more social media. Telly somewhere in the middle. BBC mostly aligned with right newspapers.
Channel 4 did the climate debate and were ready to mix it with Johnson / Cummings. BBC caved in, invited Johnson to Marr show. He was able to cover all points he wanted to for the election, not a special event. Twitter not very impressed but maybe the newspapers tomorrow will accept it.
Links so far to Guardian Media tomorrow in print, looks at BBC in detail.
Also New York Times has noticed the extent of lies and compares Johnson to Trump.
Hard to tell the dynamics of this. Loss of confidence in BBC is spreading fast but what age level? Can newspapers carry on anyway? Trump may be reported outside UK in ways we can still find. Any clues welcome.
Blog as outline without any detail. sometimes all that can be tried.
The backstory is the way #BBC has failed to engage with @carolecadwalladr . #Marr today had no way to counter the stream of lies from Johnson. Still unknown what happened in 2016 but some sort of link #Trump #Brexit is clear enough. #BBC seems reluctant to report on this as they made too many errors during the referendum. Explanation coming from outside the UK , most likely. Not sure when.
