Online and television media show a clear and consistent bias against Corbyn, this is after the study last week that found that the print media is heavily biased against him too.
Measuring how much airtime and online coverage was focused on the embattled leader’s allies and opponents, the research found “a marked and persistent imbalance in favour of sources critical of Jeremy Corbyn, the issues that they sought to highlight, and the arguments they advanced.”
As Corbyn faced mass resignations, the report’s authors accused the mainstream media of “imbalanced reporting” that could affect the democratic process, finding the BBC’s flagship 6pm evening TV bulletins gave double the amount of airtime to Corbyn’s political enemies than those still backing him.
In contrast, it found the ITV evening news bulletins, and the BBC’s online news were “relatively balanced” in their reporting.

Now you know how UKIP feel!!!
I've never seen any studies showing there's clear bias against UKIP across the whole of the mainstream media? There's been two showing there is against Corbyn.
UKIP definitely get a battering by the liberal press but it is actually possible to find positive pieces on Farage and UKIP in the mainstream press and Farage and his supporters are generally brought on to defend their position without being totally misrepresented, a privilege the LSE found was rarely given to Corbyn and his backers. While UKIP is treated unfairly by some sections of the press some of the time Corbyn gets it from all sides all the time, UKIP even had two major papers endorse them at the last election.
Article by one of the people at LSA involved in the study
Thats because UKIP talk sense and corbyn don't....ha ha ha

OK...let's take this a bit further, what policies does Corbyn have that is for the working man in the UK?..... as in, how do you think his leadership of the Labour party and his views is PRO the working man?
I'm honestly not that loyal to Corbyn, there's others I'd rather see leading the party but he's our best shot at getting the badly needed reforms made so he's got my backing for now.
You certainly are loyal to Corbyn ha ha . But, do you not think the real leftist side of politics is now out of fashion and dated. The world has moved on and now we are faced with important issues such as people coming over here and trying to kill us, the massive benefit cost and uncontrolled immigration. The working man has been shafted by labour and can we really say that Corbyn is for the real grass-roots working man?Honestly all the talk of electability with the GE 4 years away is just a distraction from one the main points of Corbyn's leadership, reforming the internal party structures and giving more power to the members. Something that absolutely terrifies the out of touch careerists and the establishment as a whole.
It looks like Labour are headed for a long stint in opposition regardless of who's leading the party so might aswell make good use of the time and get rid of the neoliberal Blairite cancer while we've got the chance. Doing the whole country a service IMO
I'd say the 300,000 people joining the party and the huge support he gets when he's travelling the country shows there's at least some appetite for his policies. I can't think of another politician who currently enjoys the level of grassroots support that Corbyn does, only Farage would come close but I don't see hundreds of thousands of people joining UKIP. I mean who else in politics these days could raise £4 million in 48 hours or mobilise thousands of supporters onto the street at a moments notice like we saw during the first days of coup attempt?
Their infrastructure investment schemes, commitments to protecting and strengthening workers rights, introducing a real living wage, actually building some fecking houses so folk can get out of the private rental sector (and feck me over
), protecting what remains of our heavy industry I mean I could go on but you get the idea, if you're really interested in going in depth on their economic policy I can give you some resources but fecked if I'm going into the complexities of it all on THL at 10.30 in the morning You see, that's what I don't get, you say strengthening UK workers rights, but how is allowing uncontrolled immigration of cheap labour helping any worker in the UK? Immigration of low paid workers is the worst thing that can happen to the working man. More and more large companies are employing foreign labour as they are cheap and one less job for the UK working man. This is a fact mate!
How is building houses helping the working man....if he cannot afford to get a mortgage ?
How is Corbyn 'protecting' heavy industry?

Polls are part of the picture no doubt but the numbers are no worse than I'd expect considering we're in the middle of probably the most bitter and public battle the party has ever seen and the Tories have just had a nice smooth hand over to a relatively popular new leader. The fact he was doing relatively well in the polls all things considered before all this shit shows the current drop is the fault of the plotters.Further behind the Torys than when Foot was leader in 83, you was only 2 weeks ago how he was doing so well in the polls or do they only matter when your trying to bolster his position?
What's silly is using polls 4 years out from an election to try and predict the result
If the PLP would unite behind him Labour would have as a good a chance as they could hope for of winning the next GE the problem is they're not interested in winning on a true leftist platform and they're scared of the reforms he wants to bring in to make the party more democratic and the MPs more accountable.
The PLP won't support him as they're are career politicians that crave power, they know as long as Corbyn is leader they have 0 chance of attaining that power so they want shut.
See you're half right there but their fear isn't that they can't win elections under Corbyn it's the fact that he wants to reform the party making it harder for careerist MPs that don't serve their constituents to keep their jobs. They've said repeatedly they would rather lose under a Blairite platform than win under Corbyn.
This battle really isn't about "electability" on either side, what it comes down to is a power struggle for the future of the party with self-serving careerists on one side and principled democrats on the other.
Yes but, don't you think that many people realise that there is absolutely no way that Corbyn would ever win a GE. Ever. And that is the reason they want him removed?
