In the last two videos from the Jimmy Dore Show I’ve put up, the American comedian has ripped into the British media for its bias against Jeremy Corbyn. He notes that this bias is backfiring, as the more the press has smeared Corbyn, the more people are seeing through their lies, and the more popular he’s become.
And the Tory press has become increasingly hated.
Mike over at Vox Political has this story reporting how people are buying up multiple copies of the Scum, Depress and Torygraph from newsagents, and burning or binning them.
I’ve seen just how much people hate the Daily Mail through looking at the stats for individual articles I’ve written on my blog.
Two of the most popular articles over the last few days – one by a massive margin – are about the Daily Mail and its own, Vere Harmsworth, or Lord Rothermere to us proles, dodging tax.
At a time when ordinary people are finding it difficult to make ends meet, thanks to Tory polices, the hypocrisy of the British press in attacking Jeremy Corbyn, while they and their owners pay little or no tax in this country, is fuelling rage against them.
I think, however, it’s wrong for people to buy these newspapers in order to destroy them, as this is only putting their money into these rags hands.
I think there are better ways for people to show their displeasure – like putting up anti-right wing press posters around the place, or go on social media to rip into them. Even burn them in effigy.
But even if it is, unfortunately, giving the press barons money, this still shows the growing hatred people have for a hostile media that has nothing but contempt for ordinary people and their needs.
And please, if you haven’t already, vote Labour!
