I called you a fucking moron because that's the impression I got from you posts (having just got home from the pub may have contributed as well, but having reread your posts I'm happy to stand by it).

Here are some highlights:

I'm glad someone in this thread has some media literacy. [In response to a report from media experts.]

I have never heard of the 'Media Reform Coalition' until today. But even their name is biased - they are clearly agitating for media reform.

I work for one of the largest media organisations in the world. I'm going out on a limb here but I reckon I know more about how the media works than some academic at Birkbeck.

For the record, the 'expert' has only ever worked in a university. Guess he knows loads about the media from the window of his academic ivory tower...

And you also claimed this:

You are criticising the media for being partisan based on their criticism of Corbyn's leadership. But then you are saying that Corbyn's ability has nothing to do with it.

Which didn't happen. I didn't criticize anyone (except you, for being a moron). What I did was post a link to a report which I thought people on this thread would find interesting and perhaps troubling.

So all those other posts about a day ago where you were debating whether the media is biased against Corbyn with Velocio and co didn't happen right?

I love the take a stance, deny you made it then call people who disagree with it morons approach. And by the way: quoting things I said doesn't make them wrong, you have to disprove them. Which you've categorically failed to do.

Do you read? Here's a key part of what I said to DK:

Regardless of Corbyn, having a biased media is never a "meh" situation. What if the next guy or gal gets the same treatment? Is it their fault because they failed to win over Murdoch?

The discussion was about whether media bias is something worth worrying about, not whether the media was biased against Corbyn. That was what the report argued.
