With a #GeneralElection looking more likely I wanted to pre-empt what is likely to be another major attack on Labour by looking in to the way some matters have been reported in the MSM.
SPOILER ALERT - MUCH JOURNALISM SEEMS PURPOSELY INACCURATE AND CONFABULATION.

Antisemitism is a serious matter - and claims of antisemitism should be dealt with quickly and people found guilty expelled.
In this thread I make no excuses - my aim is simply to report how the media have represented the issue.

Best they can say is "in 2013 they might have been Labour members"

That LBC article in no.8 above - the title and summation of the facts are not in line with the discussion that was discussed and herein lies the issue.
My pitch is that MEDIA BIAS fuels conspiracy which in turn is used to claim more AS exists.

I'll reiterate - ALL antisemitism is vile and is wrong - I'd like to use the above details in this thread to draw distinction between Right Wing antisemitism and Nazi like hatred of Jews and the left's antisemitism of accusing people of being 'paid operatives of Israel'

Thank heavens for the internet.
Because here those same horrible, vile antisemitic right wing attacks that are being attributed to Labour to attack Corbyn were reported in FEBRUARY 2015 and predate Corbyn's leadership by YEARS.

Although it is ALL wrong MOST antisemitism on the left comes from a different place than right wing antisemitism.
A vast majority of left wing antisemitism is not hatred of Jews - it is conspiracy driven by frustration against media bias and political weaponisation.

And although this has been shared a million times in the MSM there has barely a ripple.
Yes - it fuels conspiracy.
BUT SERIOUSLY - HOW CAN THIS NOT FUEL CONSPIRACY? We are not saints - we are human.

The only MSM traction was the same Al Ajzeera undercover investigation - when it related to 'taking down' a Tory MP. Alan Duncan.

I think some of the smearing media have more than overplayed their hand on this.

Complete misrepresentation of a Corbyn quote in light on Corbyn responding to criticism on NEC procedures (that apparently last week he shouldnāt interfere with). The MSM are all over the place on this
