Pathetic line of questioning by interviewer. Obvious attempt of character assassinating. Well done Jeremy for professionally handling this pathetic smearing attempt. The opposition know they cannot beat Jeremy fairly.
This is not journalism. She provoked religious tensions now falsely using anti Semitic card on responsible respected political person. This is disgusting.
To sneak in those "admissions of misjudgment", Cathy Newman, an intelligent, educated, well decorated journalist, needs to suddenly become so dumb to not get the concept of timeline and sequence of events. Classic!
***** Please, do enlighten us on how he is disgusting, as your initial response lacks any depth. As you've already muddled "majority of the British electorate" with the actual percentage of the vote Tories got (here's a clue, that's an oxymoron), I'm sure you have something very interesting to add to the debate...
+Robert Nettleship Yes, He is also a bloody Marxist commie. Fuck him . He will finish the Labour party ; probably not a bad thing though the way they are going. Now where is my old Belgian FN ?. Joking of course.
Crobular I communist/socialist/anarchist/marxist? Can you please explain the differences, just so I know your an adult I dont want to get into a conversation with a 2 yr old
And yet they still claim he is an anti-Semite, meanwhile Johnson has very obvious connections with Russian oligarchs which the media never pries at, I wonder why…
Not seeing any serious criticism of the Palestine Arab narrative. We have been sitting under these trees for a billion years! We love everyone! There was never an Ottoman Empire! Mohammad flew to Jerusalem on a horse! Etc. Etc.etc.
What a sham of an interview, clearly with the intention to put words into his mouth & ascribe intention to action which occurred either outside of his knowledge or after he spoke to them. Hindsight is 20/20 & as a man who works for peace his honorable work against all racism should not be squandered based on the fact he speaks to people to work for peace. He is clearly not a racist, neither does he consort with holocaust deniers.
Just imagine, a western leader who answers questions like an adult, genuinely believes in socialism and doesn't offer unconditional support to Israel. Just what we need I reckon.
My mother stood in cable street with the immigrants and Jews who fought against the real British Patriots whose city it was and who have now been ethnically replaced in London. Correction
I like Jeremy Corbyn...and no smears by media, BBC or channel news will change that. I expect the big guns to haul out whatever they can to try to stop him. I will vote for him.
He's just so naive; he wants Iran to work on nuclear power, thinks Hamas fight for social justice, tributes for IRA, spends his whole life thinking about terrible Western oppression and just has a massive blind spot to everything else.
Poor "journalism". Why not ask questions rather than give the answer with "questions" like: "So, presumably you regret .." or "So another misjudgement". Ch4 News can do so much better.
the burden of proof rests on those making the claim. most so called deniers simply ask for the burden of proof to be satisfied by those making the claim. when the claim was recently tested in a court they ruled that evidence is not required in this case making it non evidence based.
Disgraceful interview. But as always it was dealt with with the utmost dignity and patience and clarity by Corbyn. His ability to deal with this kind of abuse in such a calm and collected way is one of his greatest gifts.
It takes a real politician to show just how ridiculous current journalism is with it's aggressive line of questioning that seeks only to get a sound bite they can take out of context.
I find it genuinely hard to believe that there are people who could be given cause to believe that someone like Jeremy Corbyn could in any way endorse holocaust denial.
Cathy, this is very weak. I don't have a stake in this leadership race at all (SNP Wayhey!) It is patently clear that Corbyn is not an anti-israel extremist. Why have you framed this report thusly? I expect better from C4! Very disappointing.
Can you imagine what Corbyn's supporters would say if Liz Kendall had donated to a holocaust denier's organisation? This is what a leadership campaign should be about - examining the past and question candidates about it so they're better prepared and the country is better informed in the event that they will one day become PM. Corbyn lied in this interview - he knew Salah had used the blood libel in 2007 and still invited and met with him.
The establishments reaction to Corbyn is very exciting hopefully they will continue to show their cards this clearly. although it almost worries me how obvious they are being.
Well done to Cathy Newman for grilling this piece of shit. And to The Independent too. From their article: "He insisted that Eisen was not a Holocaust denier when he met him 15 years ago, telling Newman: "Had he been a Holocaust denier, I would have had absolutely nothing to do with him. I was moved by the plight of people who had lost their village in Deir Yassin.” Corbyn said he was unaware Salah had been convicted of racial incitement when he met him. The interview, which was broadcast on Monday evening, quickly sparked a backlash against Newman, with many accusing her of trying to smear him."
He didn't answer the question by KGM about Hamas clearly, he deflected. He claimed that he was only referring to Hamas as "friends" as a fraternal courtesy. In that case, why did he praise their "dedication to social justice", to quote? I'm sure the Palestinian LGBT community would be thrilled to hear it. He dishonestly claimed that he is a sainted peacemaker, and this is about talking to people with whom you disagree. But he doesn't disagree with Hamas, he completely agrees with them. Talking to the other side might involve Corbyn speaking to Israelis, but he never does. In fact, he demanded that Tzipi Livni be arrested if she travels to Britain He is a bigoted hypocrite.
LordHealey I'm sure your heart bleeds for the Palestinian LGBT community. Surely your opinion of Corbyn has nothing to do with the fact that he is the only potential PM in recent memory who might actually challenge Israel's international impunity from its actions.
Ms. Newman could have saved time by just stating, at the very beginning, "I want you to make a statement declaring yourself a racist & anti-Semite, after which we'll conduct the interview... please begin" rather than waste time trying to outsmart a man far more intellectually capable than she is.
Credit to Corbyn - once again he delivers a genuine response under scrutiny. Don't think the journo was being quite as harsh as is being made out, no more so than when dealing with other politicians. I saw Krishnan Guru-Murthy laying into Burnham the other day. They're a bit harsh, but as journo's they're supposed to provoke. I think what's more worrying for Corbyn is the people supporting him, laying into opposition Labour candidates and Tories in a way which is a bit too personal. All that's doing is fanning the flames of right-wingers and suggesting that us 'loony-lefties' are really only good at fighting each other!
A very sad, desperate (but inevitable) attempt to smear Jeremy and move focus away from his policies. Luckily Jeremy is fantastic at giving broader context to the questions posed by this type of shitty journalism. :-)
I don't get Corbyn defence line about Salah.So since he able to travel he somehow becaime less racist? Paul Eisen is also free to travel but how it related to his views?
His fans? They need to rein in their vitriol? What about the media's vitriol? The establishment's? We are his political supporters. This smear campaign of the one decent politician we have had to back for a long time is disgusting. Newman you are a terrible journalist.
Pathetic by Channel 4. Smear after smear, desperate to drag someone with principles down because they have no idea how else to treat such a novelty in politics. There is a chance the interviewer was just following orders and felt dirty afterwards; there is also a chance she genuinely believed she might be on track for a 'gotcha'. Hopefully the former.
That line of questionning is a little too much but one has to admit he associate's himself with quiet a few racist while "unaware" of their views. Not getting my vote now, that's for sure.
Cathy Newman behaving like a wife with PMT goading her husband over what she believes to be a past indiscretion. Nodding whilst planning her next below the belt question. Corbyn's responses calm and measured, hes got nothing to hide and nothing to be ashamed of. But hey Cathy, great tabloid journalism.
The premise of this is so cynical. C4 I know you are just a news/infotainment service, but come on, don't you think that this guy represents quite a potential upheaval in British Politics? Don't you think the public want you to grill this guy properly on something that will actually help us understand what he is about? Instead you try to boost your views, by asking what you thought were probing and controversial questions that anybody with half a brain could have predicted the answer to. Did you think he was going to turn out to be an antisemite? Really? In your world a marxist, almost hippy peace campaigner type...could be an antisemite becuase he helped fund some memorial thing that was run by an antisemite?....You knew how unlikely that is, and yet you asked these questions because you think folk will say "Ooooh did you see that c4 interview with Corbyn?". Go do some actual news you cynical timewasters.
at least this smacks of desperation less than the mail on sundays "Take me out? No, Jeremy liked a night in eating cold beans with his cat called Harold Wilson, Corbyn's first wife reveals" headline the other day.
Vote for Jeremy Corbyn......if you want the UK to fall to radical Islam and you want to hand all your money over to him and let him redistribute it. Ha Ha! RIP Labour.
channel 4 - you are showing your right wing colours! Where are all the corbyn rallies? Articles? 1000's attending corbyn - less than 70 at kendalls. You bias is embarrassing
I'm no fan of Jeremy Corbyn but he seems like a genuine in what he believes. The way the media are treating him reminds me a lot of how they used to treat Nigel Farage. Please remember this next time you call ukip racist ;)
Dave R Both have been slandered as racists by the establishment for going against the establishment. It's to the point that if the media attack someone, I'm more interested in what they have to say. At least Corbyn won't have to put up with left wing bigots harassing his family though...
catfishale asad and where did you get that opinion... All that shows is you've done nothing but listen the news and done no thinking of your own what so ever. Do you think Jeremy Corbyn is really racist? If not then maybe you should consider that the media slanders any one who doesn't follow the globalist agenda, that's my point. I don't agree with Corbyns politics but that doesn't mean I will simply accept what the completely untrustworthy media has to say about him.
catfishale asad "i got that opinion from talking to ukippers and all i spoke to were racists . so 100% of the ukippers i spoke to were racists ." What gave you that opinion? Plus We are talking about Nigel Farage, what makes you think he is racist. Of course some kippers are racist, same goes for the all parties even the greens. But what gives you the opinion it's racist party is what I'm more interested in.
in this world Every topic is debatable , till you mention anything that relates to the holocaust , whereby , any point of view that diverges from the common story is labeled ''anti-Semitic '', am not a holocaust denier , but surely everyone is entitled to have his own point of the view about this matter ,
Pathetic line of questioning by interviewer.
Obvious attempt of character assassinating.
Well done Jeremy for professionally handling this pathetic smearing attempt.
The opposition know they cannot beat Jeremy fairly.

No, I'm sorry, you're putting a lot of words into my mouth ! Well done jeremy.

Can you please explain the differences, just so I know your an adult
I dont want to get into a conversation with a 2 yr old
"Had he been a Holocaust denier, or stated he was, I'd have had absolutely nothing to do with him" - Jeremy Corbyn
"The Jewish people that were killed by the Nazi Holocaust, were the people that suffered the most in the 20th century" - Jeremy Corbyn
And yet they still claim he is an anti-Semite, meanwhile Johnson has very obvious connections with Russian oligarchs which the media never pries at, I wonder why…
Journalism at its worst.
I wonder if he can name a single Jewish village wiped out by Palestinian racists?
Wow they are getting desperate aren't they! Love IT! Just shows which media outlets are under control of the Oligarghs.
Get a grip channel 4. Have you drunk the kool aid too?
Stuart Jones They are the cool aid, and it tastes like poo.
American lol?
Isn't that the reporter who got in trouble for claiming she'd been kicked out of a mosque when the CCTV proved otherwise?
When is channel 4 gunna stop embarrassing themselves with these petty tactics.
Anti Semitism..?? 😀
To find out who really controls you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
Hah, love this :)
Not seeing any serious criticism of the Palestine Arab narrative. We have been sitting under these trees for a billion years! We love everyone! There was never an Ottoman Empire! Mohammad flew to Jerusalem on a horse! Etc. Etc.etc.
What a sham of an interview, clearly with the intention to put words into his mouth & ascribe intention to action which occurred either outside of his knowledge or after he spoke to them.

I've had enough of your dystopian tabloid journalism, Channel 4 News. Quit it with the lying and the smears.
All this from the reporter who lied about being physically removed from a mosque.
Just imagine, a western leader who answers questions like an adult, genuinely believes in socialism and doesn't offer unconditional support to Israel.
Just what we need I reckon.

Stephen Pollard is as disingenuous as it gets.

C4, my respect for you is less as each year goes past. Your standards seem to be getting worse.
Poor "journalism". Why not ask questions rather than give the answer with "questions" like: "So, presumably you regret .." or "So another misjudgement". Ch4 News can do so much better.
Cathy, when are you going to get a job at Sky News? Or Fox maybe?

desperate attempt by chanel 4 to discredit corbyn
"... absolutely refuse to have anything to do with anyone who is a Holocaust denier; it is ludicrous and wrong" - Jeremy Corbyn
Disgraceful interview. But as always it was dealt with with the utmost dignity and patience and clarity by Corbyn. His ability to deal with this kind of abuse in such a calm and collected way is one of his greatest gifts.
A sick sick man.
Agreed
I think these types of journalism is promoting anti Semitic propaganda.
It takes a real politician to show just how ridiculous current journalism is with it's aggressive line of questioning that seeks only to get a sound bite they can take out of context.
Lost a lot of respect for channel 4 after this disgusting and blatant character assassination
Really clutching at straws here to create tabloid rubbish to smear one of the few honest men in politics.
#desperatejournalism
Is this an interrogation or an interview?
No one believe this kind of interviewer I'm afraid ....sorry for Newman ...sic... I love Jeremy, clever, justice and true words :)
Like a boss! Jez we can
I find it genuinely hard to believe that there are people who could be given cause to believe that someone like Jeremy Corbyn could in any way endorse holocaust denial.
Why do people still listen to Gordon Brown?
Sorry C4, we're not idiots, obvious smear .
This is the dirtiest, most yellow journalism I could have ever imagined outside of a dictatorship
I don't think so Mister Corbyn.
Cathy, this is very weak. I don't have a stake in this leadership race at all (SNP Wayhey!) It is patently clear that Corbyn is not an anti-israel extremist. Why have you framed this report thusly? I expect better from C4! Very disappointing.

We don't want any lectures from Gordon BROWN
Mr Pollard, he'd answer your concerns, but would you allow the Jewish community to accept the answers?
when will people realise the difference between anti semitism and anti zionism?
it's seriously tedious.
Imagine the left's outrage if a UKIP or Tory leader had associations with dubious characters of the likes of Eisen, Jahjah and Saleh.
He didn't answer the question by KGM about Hamas clearly, he deflected. He claimed that he was only referring to Hamas as "friends" as a fraternal courtesy. In that case, why did he praise their "dedication to social justice", to quote? I'm sure the Palestinian LGBT community would be thrilled to hear it.

It's a misjudgment to talk to people you might disagree with? Really?
This is not all of her interview with him. Where is the first part of it, that also involved direct questions and detailed answers?
It's all getting a bit desperate now.
Shame on Channel 4! Vile reporting.
Do your job channel 4. This is not journalism. These lazy guilt by association strawman arguments are disgusting
Oh here we go lets dig for any tenuous links we can to try & discredit him..pathetic really,shows how scared the establishment are
