Misinformation and misrepresentation against the Corbyn opposition is pretty well documented.
Presumably the misinformation was then retracted by the mainstream media outlets that published it when they learned that they had published falsehoods regarding the leader of the opposition or the opposition and its policies?
Edit: I think these links are to articles that answer a different question.

Well yeah. This is what happens to highly visible public figures even before you factor in that Corbyn has followed a career path that typically doesn't result being the leader of the opposition and 'PM in waiting'.
To run the show, you need to have believed that you can run the show for some time, and over that time, you would have needed to have taken actions and made decisions mindful of your ambition*. Corbyn did not do that (or rather, his ambition wasn't to run the show), and neither I think did Milliband - they were kind of opportunistic in their leadership bids which whilst is fine, kinda, it does not grant you any kind of media 'free pass' - the opposite in fact. You have a credibility debt.
Out of interest, what misinformation? Is it possible to list it, or is it just a sense of it?
* as an aside, as I understand it apparently May always believed she could be PM and she wanted to be PM. She was in Cameron's cabinet because she was a direct threat to him as leader. She was in the tent pissing out.
