| Comment | > undermining of Corbyn
Sorry, but on what basis is any newspaper required to uncritically support a particular party leader? Just because the Murdoch-controlled media on the right does theirs doesn't mean an editorially independent newspaper has any moral obligation to do so for the left. It's not the Guardian's job to get Corbyn elected, and in case you haven't noticed they're not hugely warm on Starmer right now either.
And they did support Corbyn's policies, they did call for him in the 2019 GE, the main issue was his ambivalence (at best) on Europe, which was clearly not something that meshed historically with the Guardian's fiercely pro-European sentiment. Are you suggesting they should have ignored that in order to be a true Corbynite propaganda organ? |
