Incredibly partial article in Belgian right-wing magazine Knack just this week. "The meltdown of Labour: Jeremy knows he can't do it"

I was quite surprised by the tone of / reporting done in a Knack article on Corbyn from a couple of days ago. I felt like sharing it. For some reason I did not expect to read an article like this in a Belgian magazine, even though Knack is considered somewhat right-wing. What horse does it have in this race? Maybe I'm too naive. Knack has a readership of about 100.000 people. I hadn't heard of journalist Lia van Bekhoven before.

To summarize. Sources include The Guardian's Andrew Rawnsley, Robert Harris, Neil Kinnock, Evgeny Lebedev. The title is The meltdown of Labour: "Jeremy knows he can't do it". Some highly opinionated claims are stated as fact. For example: Behind a friendly, unpretentious appearance, there is limited knowledge and an equally limited interest. And If Corbyn is aware of his limitations, it's not showing. Also: Apart from his own parishes he preaches, Corbyn is seen as weak, inefficient and even laughable. These are not quotes, these are the journalist's own words.

She tackles the criticism of partial press coverage as follows: As long as Corbyn can convince 30 percent of the voters (relatively little in a two-party system), he is sure to be his position. His supporters will claim that even though the party was put in the back by an enemy press, Tony Blair and the BBC, the beloved leader held his ground. Case closed, I guess.
