Here in the UK, we're seeing a blatant blanket wall-to-wall anti-Corbyn* agenda in the news media. Whether you agree with his politics or not, it is disgraceful how the news media is treating our politics. Interestingly, news of Bernie Sanders is almost absent in any coverage of the US presidential race. All we seem to hear is Trump, Trump, Trump. Now that might be a matter of perverse morbid fascination with with the obscene level of idiocy the man offers, but the only opposition to him appears to be mainstream, establishment-friendly Clinton. Of course, showing a serious US potential presidential figure with the politics of Sanders, would offer too much support to the idea of Corbyn being taken seriously too. That would never do.
So, the idea of a free-press, speaking truth to power, holding the establishment & government in particular to account, is something we most certainly do not have. What we do have is a press that is part of the corporatist agenda, and willing to lie to the people to support those aims. And it's getting so blatant that even some right-wing commentators are starting to question it.
*UK Labour Party leader, standing in opposition to the neoliberal consensus & corporatism, and therefore a Maoist-Stalinist lesbian Muslim terrorist. Or something.
