Kyle spouts common lie about Jeremy Corbyn – and is forced to correct
Jeremy Corbyn: he has a long history of supporting Jewish people. Anybody claiming he is anti-Semitic is either mistaken or outright lying.
This is good work from James Schneider on Jeremy Kyle’s Talk TV show.
Kyle spouted the common lie that Jeremy Corbyn was removed from the Labour Party because he was anti-Semitic and Mr Schneider corrected him. Kyle then had to issue a full clarification – as Mr Schneider had predicted:
James Schneider did a great deal more than that here. Jeremy Kyle was babbling a lot of the conventional 'wisdom' that most pundits babble about Jeremy Corbyn. Mr Schneider took it apart in seconds and in a few words. Mr Kyle then ran like a chastised rat. This is a must watch. https://t.co/ZBJdfVuUX2

It is when broadcasters fail to correct falsehoods – as happens too often on the BBC’s Politics Live, for example – that they stick in the minds of the viewers and affect the way people choose to vote.
The media have a responsibility to be fair and accurate at all times, but in politics this is all-too-often ignored to fuel the personal biases of corporate bosses.
It’s good to be able to highlight a moment of (albeit ill-humoured) responsibility.

The Jeremy Kyle Show was one of the most disgusting programmes ever made.
Manchester district judge Alan Berg:
“It seems to me that the whole purpose of the Jeremy Kyle show is to effect a morbid and depressing display of dysfunctional people who are in some kind of turmoil,”
“It is for no more and no less than titillating members of the public who have nothing better to do with their mornings than sit and watch this show which is a human form of bear baiting which goes under the guise of entertainment.
“The people responsible for this, namely the producers, should in my opinion be in the dock with you, Mr Staniforth.”
