STOP THE PRESS and PUBLIC BROADCASTING ASSASSINATION OF JEREMY CORBYN
We ask the Independent Press Press Standards Organisation and the public broadcasting BBC to take action to stop this biased, unfair, unbalanced and scurrilous attacks on Jeremy Corbyn which belittle their code of practice of a free, equal, democratic and independent press and public broadcasting.
Why is this important?
The British press "systematically undermines" Jeremy Corbyn with an onslaught of disproportionate and negative media coverage.
Research, given exclusively to The Huffington Post UK, looked at news, comment and editorial leaders - and claims that "the press set out to systematically undermine Jeremy Corbyn during his first week as Labour Leader with a barrage of overwhelmingly negative coverage". It goes on and on ...disgraceful, biased, unbalanced, disproportionate attacks.
Since the first weeks of his appointment as leader the Media Reform Coalition analysed nearly 500 pieces across eight national newspapers, including The Sun, The Times, Guardian and Daily Mail, and found 60% of their articles were 'negative', meaning they were openly hostile or expressed animosity or ridicule. Out of the 494 articles across the papers during Corbyn's first seven days at leader, 60% (296 articles) were negative, with only 13% positive stories (65 articles) and 27% taking a "neutral" stance (133 articles), the report says.
The Media Reform Coalition, a group of academics, media campaigners and civil society groups which claims not to be linked to any political party.
This systematic undermining of Jeremy Corbyn and personal character assassination continues unashamedly.
Even the former BBC’s former political editor Nick Robinson, confessed - in an interview in the Sunday Times — that he had written to several BBC colleagues over concerns that the corporation’s political coverage is biased against Jeremy Corbyn and was shocked by the way the BBC ‘rubbish Jeremy Corbyn’.
Help stop these biased, unbalanced, undemocratic and unfair political and personal attacks on Jeremy Corbyn.
