Commenting on why the Guardian appeared to have misread the public mood in its attacks on Jeremy Corbyn,...

Ben Norton – US Media Spreads False Claims About Purging of North Korean Official

Kevin Kavanagh wrote in the Sun yesterday: 'Forget his age, Jeremy Corbyn is unfit to be PM because he prizes the interests of Britain’s enemies above our own'  The article then went on to say that Kim Jung-on had executed one of his senior officials for failing at the arms negotiations with Trump.

They could be seen as polar opposites. Soros is an old-fashioned New Deal liberal. The Koch brothers are fire-breathing right-wingers who dream of cutting taxes and dismantling government. Now they have found something to agree on: the United States must end its “forever war” and adopt...
