This is what I do not get about Labour. Corbyn is not palatable to so many people and obviously the media too. Why not replace him with a fresh face and push Labour's political goals instead of unsuccessfully trying to change everyone else's mind about one person. I do not think the public will change their minds, however much research they are shown of unjustified persecution. That first impression of a person is so hard to change.

I don't think it's really about Corbyn himself, he's just a cypher for those political goals and whoever replaces him will have the same problem (as did Ed Miliband before him). The media always plays the man and not the ball.
Isn't their research showing the reversal of opinions of Labour/Corbyn once media general election rules were in place? -
Because Labour is a democratic organisation.
And for all the PLP's complaints, Corbyn is still popular among the membership - and a lot of the new members who joined to vote for him.
So basically what you're advocating is a coup in the Labour Party, against the will of the members.
