..."Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has said why he thinks the corporate media was hostile towards his leadership."...
RIGHT WING LABOUR (CALLAGHAN - 1976) and TORIES (THATCHER - 1979 onwards)
Jeremy Corbyn ... "explained why he thought the corporate media was so hostile:
The manifesto (Jeremy Corbyn) put forward in 2017 was only radical within the terms of modern British politics. Because, in reality, it was beginning to turn the clock back on the terrible period ... started by ... the IMF [International Monetary Fund] cuts of the 1970s."... and "Margaret Thatcher"...
..."In 1976, the minority Labour UK government of James Callaghan was ‘forced’ to borrow $3.9bn from the IMF to stabilise the value of Pound. The loan was also accompanied with conditions to cut public spending and raise interest rates. It marked a symbolic break with the post-war economic consensus and was a reflection of persistent problems in the post-war UK economy."...
2017 CORBYN MANIFESTO WAS NOT RADICAL
..."In other words, the IMF giving the UK money in return for cuts to public services was the beginning of the end for democratic socialist policies in the UK.
They only properly returned to the mainstream with Corbyn’s 2017 manifesto.
So naturally the corporate media, which enjoyed the fruits of (Tory and right wing Labour) (capitalism alone) were hostile to this. But in reality, that manifesto was hardly off-the-wall.
As Corbyn noted ... when (he) did an interview for a Swedish journalist during the 2017 election, at the end of it he looked at (Jeremy Corbyn) and he said:
‘Mr Corbyn, I don’t want to disappoint you, but all this is terribly mainstream in Sweden. This wouldn’t even be particularly commented on. All you’re proposing is a bit of public ownership and the empowerment of the working class. That’s something we’ve been doing for the past century’.
WHAT IS SWEDEN's Nordic Model?
Indeed. As Investopedia wrote, the ... Nordic model ... is
the combination of social welfare and economic systems ... It combines features of capitalism with democratic socialism -
CAPITALISM
- market economy, and
- economic efficiency,
DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM
- state pensions, and
- income distribution.
