As a right wing thinker, you likely want to believe these stories because they give you the ammunition you need to demonise this man. I, on the other hand worry that such stories may or may not be true so I go about searching for the full story and the truth behind the headlines. Only the bigger picture shows truth and not some sensational headline from the right wing/left wing propaganda machine.
Any political opinion, whether right wing or left wing, should never be held with dogmatism and rigidity. Growth of knowledge is what's important here because if we can't have an intelligent political debate, all we can do is hit stalemate.

Wow - 'The Ego Has Landed'. I'm sorry, but EGO permeates every sentence of your post.
"As a right wing thinker, you likely want to believe these stories because they give you the ammunition you need to demonise this man.

Just where, in the many posts which I have contributed to this forum, do you educe that I am so poorly read or narrowly informed, that I formulate my opinions from just one source?
I have repeatedly stressed that I do not make up my mind based upon the first thing I read or see, and that I cross-reference and research further before forming an opinion - and this includes directly informing you of these facts on other threads.
I certainly do not need lessons from you on this subject - especially in such a patronising post which seems as if it has been written by a pompous Primary School teacher for the benefit of her class of 7 year olds.
"Ultimately this isn't about simple capitalism or socialism, its about whether or not you and your loved ones feel looked after. What I mean by 'looked after' is of course subjective."
Subjective, it certainly is. 'Looked after'? Now let me see:
Would I feel my children and grandchildrens future would be assured and that they would be 'looked after' under Corbyn's ideal United Kingdom?
No Nuclear Deterrent at a time when more than ever we need one - because of the threat from insane Islamic Terrorists who will stop at nothing to destroy our Christian Western Demoracy and rebuild another Mecca Phoenix-like from the ashes?
No Military Services at all, or a decimated token 'Banana Republic' army at best, where 'Boots On Ground' means very few boots, and severely worn, ill-fitting ones at best?
Oh I could go on-and-on, but no need, because MY answer is - No. I would NOT feel that I or my loved ones would be 'Looked after'. NEXT:
"Some people with a keen political interest, won't take anything a right wing or a left wing story tells us without going off and digging a little deeper.

Here, I will simply challenge you to abandon your rhetoric and debate me on whether Corbyn is an anti-UK terrorist sympathiser or not, and whether he has, indeed, said the things he is quoted in MANY media reports of having said.
Incidentally, your: "Some people with a keen political interest, won't take anything a right wing or a left wing story tells us without going off and digging a little deeper." is offensive and arrogant. You are not the only one who has "a keen political interest", though your sentence is 'self-elevating' in this respect.
"Any political opinion, whether right wing or left wing, should never be held with dogmatism and rigidity. Growth of knowledge is what's important here because if we can't have an intelligent political debate, all we can do is hit stalemate."
I could not agree more, but "intelligent political debate" does not mean ignoring FACTS - CORROBORATED HARD TRUTHS - once presented by the other side, and continuing on with views which such hard facts have demolished as wrong.
So let us debate.
