More turns up about Corbyn and stories in Mail Telegraph Sun Express.
Stasi file check reveals nothing at all. etc.
Surely the story is now about the newspapers?
Dan Sabbagh suggests this is about the age of social media. Labour can choose to mix it with newspapers because the video of Corbyn direct to camera is available online. this is a welcome development, Guardian print journalists being more or less reasonable on what is happening. ( probably tomorrow another horror story on how social media rots the brain)
Roy Greenslade suggests Corbyn that the statement "change is coming" is "the most explicit attack by a senior politician in modern times on the philosophical underpinning of press ownership". Seems to be the danger that Leveson 2 might happen rather than be cancelled or ignored. Oh dear.
Should Corbyn mention that press owners live abroad? Not very complicated. Channel Islands part of UK culture, what to worry about? Murdoch was Australian now lives mostly in USA. Global Britain fits in fine.
Not sure if Greenslade comments will be in print. Mostly reasonable, at least describes what newspapers are doing.
Robert Peston has tweeted about TV "impartiality" , what facts can he check out? Most likely newspapers will stick together but eventually TV and radio may comment.
