Getting your excuses in early?Polls show what the media portrays, and the media hate him. If you repeat something enough it sticks in the minds of the weak, murdoch pretty much controls our elections.
I'll still vote for him, they are the only non-tory possibility since the lib dems bent over and took it from the blues. Not voting or even cock drawing are not options this time, I have to vote against the Tories.
I'm not sure that anyone takes much notice of the media these days, especially newspapers, hence all those Twitter and Facebook storms from 12 months ago. The press gave Sadiq Khan a hard time in the London Mayoral election, but he managed to overcome it. A big problem for Corbyn is his unwillingness to engage with the media (not that he's very good at it anyway) in the same way that Nu-Labour did.
But his main problem is that he's incompetent, and 3/4s of his MPs know this, many having "worked" with him.
