Because people don't pay that much attention to facts. Images, on the other hand, penetrate. Ensuring heavy rotation of an image of Corbyn as a commie really isn't very clever at all.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

I'd like you to be right, but I'm pretty convinced the perception that Corbyn is some kind of dangerous ideologue is dead in the water. In fact the sad reality is that it simply never gained any traction and when pushed is now basically ignored, in whatever form it comes.

It was always the wrong way to go. The attack on him should always have been an innocent but incredibly naive man who has no conception of the broader world of politics. You then hint that he is backed by some rather more sinister forces (which is kind of true).

Oddly enough, I think it's gaining traction. Last week's performance was so egregious that it seems even to have leaked through to the polls.

Also, I know it's repeated all the time, but do always bear in mind that, for the polls to be where they are at the moment is utterly disastrous for Labour.
