According to Corbyn-supporting group Momentum, scathing attacks against the Labour Party only help boost support. A spike in the number of Momentum membership applications following critical coverage are proof of this, the group claims.
Corbyn's Labour is aiming to tackle negative coverage of the opposition at the hands of the right-wing media by using social media platforms to garner support. Momentum says there have been a number of occasions when after the right-wing media blasted Corbyn, his approval ratings went up.
Comment: Corbyn's supporters may not like it, but the media dynamics across the pond are in fact very similar. Outlets like CNN, MSNBC, etc. are losing credibility not because Trump brands anything he doesn't like a 'fake news'. It's because the media in the US has over reached in distorting reality. It's the same deal in the UK. The left-right dynamics may be reversed to some extent, but it is the same establishment powers who are doing themselves in through obvious biases and over zealous agendas.
