Our media is appalling. You expect it from the Daily Fail , but now even the Torygraph is going for daily character assassination, instead of reporting news. I suppose its just a reflection of the low intelligence of all those that lap this up. Fortunately a lot, even those not sympathetic to Corbyn are seeing through it.

Refreshingly he is very open and consistent with his views. These haven't changed once he has become leader and he doesn't alter them to win votes or please media moguls. I think the press are running scared of someone who takes no notice of them and they can't control.

He obviously won't support somethings he believes is nonsense, that's just hypocritical.

I'll pick up on this one.

Just because he may think religion is nonsense doesn't obligate him to try and force other people to fit with his beliefs, and I'm not aware the man supports religion.

It's the many other alarming things that he definitely supports that freak me out, not his lack of attempts to convert theists.

If he were a Christian leader of the Labour Party that would be important in defining him as a leader, if he were Muslim that would be important as defining him as leader, surely being atheist is important as defining him as a leader in such a multi faith country? But yet it seems to be ignored.

You seem to be grasping at straws so you can trash the guy.

They have several other trusted retorts on standby:
"that news about Corbyn was published in a right of center rag" (Therefore no case to answer irrespective of the report being accurate)
or, and this is my personal favourite:
"oh look, another anti Corbyn report" (ie. because he keeps putting his foot in it, we should therefore not report on it anymore :rolleyes: )
