I'm not sure what's wrong with that nyt headline. Fundamentally the story is that May was in power, hosed up real bad but still is in marginal power. Corbyn did the heavy lifting but he's still not the government going forward.

That's the point though, the story is fully accurate while continuing to brush Corbyn and the left under the rug.

If the newspaper did not have a corporate bias then the newspaper might report the news that there was a huge leftist populist upwelling, I dunno, I don't run a newspaper

Labour experienced its biggest increase in voting share since 1945, drove youth turnout at over 70%, won a seat that has been held by Tories for 100 years, and forced the Tories into a minority government. It's an unprecedented political success for Labour after a string of neoliberal defeats, and the NYT is suppressing those facts because they don't want their readership to get the idea that left wing populism is a more motivating force than milquetost centrist garbage.

Labour did great, but they didn't come close to having a majority. The simplest version of the story is the Tories loving themselves. Not everything is a corporate conspiracy.

Not everything is a corporate conspiracy. labour greatly exceeded expectations, but still lost. they got close enough that they'll likely force another election soon, so corbyn ought to have the chance to contest that one too. but at that point, he's got to win.

Don't see malice where it could easily be ignorance. Also conservatives loving up is the American political narrative right now.

the neoliberal narrative coming out of this election will be that May lost, rather than Corbyn winning, because he's an unelectable socialist and if we'd had a strong common sense centrist as party leader labour would have won even harder now isn't it time for another leadership challenge

Papers writing about foreign political events are mostly going to focus on the party and people forming a government after and election, opposition figures are usually of little interest to people in other countries as it has little bearing on them.

The nyt dodged the take that market downturn was from a left resurgence, and correctly attributed it to the Conservative government losing an established mandate.
