Within minutes of the Labour Party Leadership election results being announced, the rabid fascist right wing media release their name calling scaremongering excrement reminiscent of the days of Thatcher. The first out of the starting blocks was the obnoxious Adam Boulton (of the Alastair Campbell interview fame) closely followed by the lass from Wigan, Kay Burley. (The “Sack Kay Burley” campaign on Facebook should have Adam Boulton added to its aims.) How Sky News manages to continue masquerading as a balanced news programme remains a mystery to us all. Perhaps the fact that it is part of the Rupert Murdoch media empire has something to do with its biased presenters and story lines.
The BBC news coverage was not much better, with various presenters mentioning the “Red Ed“ label. Today (Sunday 26th September 2010) it is the turn of the Sunday Papers to seek to compete with each other for the title of “Who can produce the most hysterical headline and associated story content”. The sad, and worrying thing is that many people in this country actually believe what they see on television and read in the papers. .
