Skwawkbox — an embarrassment to the Left

The almost uniform hostility that Jeremy Corbyn has faced from the press and broadcast media since his election as Labour leader (only slightly mitigated by the party’s impressive showing in the general election) has given a boost to alternative news media whose declared aim is to defend Corbyn’s politics and nail the lies of the “MSM”. Novara Media, The Canary, Evolve Politics, Another Angry Voice and The Skwawkbox are notable examples.

The influence of these alt-left sites shouldn’t be underestimated. In the run-up to the general election BuzzFeed News reported that they were attracting “enormous audiences”. The Skwawkbox, a one-man operation apparently run by a Labour Party member from Liverpool, featured in a BBC News At Ten report, which stated that “many of his articles go viral, with some achieving hundreds of thousands of readers”.

A very interesting article and written by the socialist Bob Pitt.

The typical mainstream right-wing_dominated news media in Britain is obviously running scared, to now have an idiotic blabberfest, now inventing an "alt.left" as a new enemy ready to "bring down civilisation as they know it"...

The delisional and intellectually-deficient author(s) of that whininng diatribe there is truly desperate, if they are as scared of a few online blogsites as that R/W_snowflake opinion piece would suggest..

As you would see the error of your views above

Islamophobia Watch is a website which was initiated in January 2005 as a non-profit project to document material in the media, and in society at large, which it perceives to advocate Islamophobia.[1][2]
The website was set up by two non-Muslim socialists, Eddie Truman and Bob Pitt.[3] Truman was at that time press officer for the Scottish Socialist Party group at the Scottish Parliament, and Pitt worked as a researcher in the office of the then Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone.
