He is presented as hard left by the right wing gutter press because it suits their agenda.

Tony Blair was not centre he was on the right of the labour party, a New Labour blue. The less politically informed now believe he was centre because they don't realise that the Tories are no longer right wing conservatives, they are ultra right wing free market liberals who have abandoned Keynesian economics and adopted neoliberalim. Therefore as the Tories have lurched 'SO FAR RIGHT', it makes Corbyn appear 'so far Left'. And a lot of us understand this. That's why we've just had the largest swing towards Labour since WW11

Ok but I specifically said I wasn't talking about Blair. Corbyn was considered on the far left of the Labour Party long before Blair and New Labour
