The mainstream media’s ‘anti-Semitism’ assault on Labour – analysed
This is revealing – a series of articles analysing the press assault on Labour and Jeremy Corbyn.
Isn’t it interesting how the accusations spike during election campaigns?
During the three years of Corbyn’s Labour leadership, the association of antisemitism with the Labour Party has been a relentless media narrative. The 2,087 articles published in that time have come at an average of nearly two per day.
Yet in more than six and a half years prior to his election, just 178 articles were published associating the Party with antisemitism, at an average of one every fortnight. Is antisemitism 25 times more prevalent in the Party now?
Perhaps the most surprising trend is the recent drop in stories about antisemitism that don’t associate the problem with Labour. In the five years prior to Corbyn’s leadership such stories steadily grew in frequency, but the past two years have seen a progressive decline (despite the overall number spiking massively).

This is clearly part of the right-wing “divide and rule” smear campaign.
It’s all to do with covering up something they want to hide from their voters and the public. How bad can it be? A hell of a lot worse than it is now.
