General Election 2015

Just shows how out of touch they are with bottom-feeder labour members that they think this will help - support from corbyn is coming from years of tamped down resentment about tony blair and new labour, from the 'naive' members who still wish they could be in the party of atlee bevin and co (the ones who hadn't ripped up their cards years ago) - actual party apparatchiks like blair more cos they want power. I just hope that this support is of the resilient type where the more the media/political establishment is seen to put pressure against corbyn, the more popular he becomes - at some point there must come a tipping point where total control of the media turns into total distrust of the media, and everyone naturally treats it like the average soviet thought of pravda.

Oh yes.
Typical guardian article by jonathan freedland telling everyone who likes jeremy corbyn that they're childish narcissists: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jul/24/corbyn-tribe-identity-politics-labour
Not really worth reading the article, but a scroll through the comments illustrates the strength of feeling there is on the non-hard left for corbyn, with intelligent arguments showing up the bullshit above the line. These pampered bubble-journalists are seething that what they consider their intellectual subjects dare to have their own opinions which don't match their own compromised neoliberalism.
And if this article turns out to be true the labour party is dead: 'Hariet Harman Urged to Suspend Leadership Race' http://news.sky.com/story/1525332/labour-leadership-race-should-be-halted
The right wing of labour have already threatened to split the party if corbyn wins (like the bastards did with the SDP in 83 to stop michael foot, who would easily have won (many of them guardian journalists like polly toynbee, who stood for the SDP)). If they close corbyn out undemocratically, it might just be the left who forms their own party and (maybe this time) they might do better than the bubble journalists would expect - they might just be setting themselves up for a syriza/podemos. Either way, the inevitable media tirades can only be positive in the long term - people are slowly waking up to this media manipulation - once we snap out of it properly, anything can happen
