Opinion: Media Accused of Whitewashing Starmer's Record on Gaza
By
Editor
Summary
This opinion piece criticizes mainstream media for giving Sir Keir Starmer a respectful farewell as Prime Minister, alleging they whitewashed his record — particularly his complicity in the Gaza genocide. The author argues that the BBC and Guardian, among others, failed to scrutinize Starmer's policies and legacy, instead portraying him as a 'decent' leader. The article also extends this critique to media treatment of Andy Burnham, suggesting he is being positioned for leadership without proper scrutiny of his record.
