British media people are the literal scum of the earth, just the loving worst. I hope corbyn destroys murdoch and all of his empire and put strict controls on smear tactics when he wins. If corbyn wins he has to start actively taking revenge and destroying everything that is in the way of the left project, no more mr nice guy.

You got me too. Gotta say I enjoy your posting shtick.

Guys I had a thought. What if Labour has a whole file of similarly incriminating leaked documents and are just planning to roll one out every couple of days. There have to be plenty of disgruntled civil servants out there... Only thing is its not really Corbyn's style, he prefers to hammer the positive stuff. But I imagine Labour's strategy team are aware we need to depress turnout for the Tories as much as possible to have a hope of a majority.

Thank you :tipshat:

it's been proven time and time again that private ownership of journalism is a cancer on society and actively harms humanity, normal people arent capable of thinking straight and escaping mass money-making media brainwashing even against cold hard facts like climate change, enough. to save humanity all of these private media empires have to be dismantled.

Well yeah obviously that's proven to be a disasterous failure.

I think the best middle ground is to seperate 'entertainment media' and let that be what it may be and 'News and Facts' media be some form of publicly owned (sovereign wealth fund style) enterprise that includes independent scientific or research based bodies unattached to any kind of market or political intervention.

Everyone knows Corbyn rides a communist bicycle.

The Telegraph posted:

When detailing how the new Labour leader chose to take a black cab home, the Times mentioned that Mr. Corbyn had abandoned ' the Chairman Mao-style bicycle his neighbours always see him riding.'

"Less thorough journalists might have referred to it as just a bicycle,' he joked during his conference speech.

It's also the primary method labour is using to get its message out, combined with similar ground level messaging from its membership. It requires a degree of literacy with the medium but I think it's inescapably the future and probably the closest you can come to the ideal of an independent news source. If you're going to set up some kind of "neutral" body I think you'd have better luck with them maintaining a platform than actually trying to produce neutral content.

If you believe in the ability of people to self govern then a genuinely free platform for people to scream at each other is about the best we've ever gotten. That and hopefully rebuilding social spaces for people to talk to each other which have of course been eroded by capitalism and social media.
