Paranoid Jeremy Corbyn claims ‘BBC is obsessed with smearing me’ in fly-on-the-wall documentary
The leftie blames his struggling leadership on 'utterly disgusting' media coverage
STRUGGLING Labour boss Jeremy Corbyn has launched a furious attack on the BBC - branding the broadcaster “obsessed” with trying damage him.
The veteran socialist has declared: “There is not one story on any election anywhere in the UK that the BBC will not spin into a problem for me - it’s obsessive beyond belief.”
In a furious on camera rant, the hapless Labour leader blamed the media for his woes, saying the BBC is “obsessed with trying to damage the leadership of the party.”
A snarling Mr Corbyn also turned fire on the “people in the Labour Party that play into that”.
Speaking to documentary filmmakers from Vice News, Mr Corbyn has let rip at what he sees as “shallow, facile and ill-informed” media.
He rages in new documentary, that the media “shape a debate that is baseless and narrow”.
Singling out coverage of the anti-semitism crisis that engulfed the Labour Party over the last three months, Mr Corbyn calls the media coverage “utterly disgusting, subliminal nastiness, the whole lot of it”.
In the documentary Mr Corbyn’s spin doctor Seumas Milne is heard describing Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland - a former colleague - as “not a good guy”.
Speaking on his mobile phone, Mr Corbyn agrees, adding: “he seems kinda obsessed with me.”
