Private Eye, for all its good reporting, is a homophobic and transphobic rag which employs Nick Cohen, a known sex pest, for the sole purpose of writing shithouse articles on the left.
It's a good point, though, one of the failures of the left in this country is to create a meaningful independent media which can offer a narrative not skewed by the wishes of a few wealthy interests. Even the likes of Novara ultimately melted when it came to combatting the antisemitism smears.
The failure says a lot about the trade union leadership in this country, much of which is meltish: the TUC, even at the height of its power, did nothing to create an effective independent media.
