How is media language used to portray corbyn to readers a head of the election this week
The Guardian, known to support Liberal Democrats but also to promote anti-conservative messages, present Jeremy Corbyn in a positive light to influence the mainstream audience to vote for him. They do this by using a medium wide shot, of Corbyn surrounded by children, all with signs saying to vote for him. This presents that The Guardian support Corbyn.
However, The Sun newspaper, a known Conservative paper, does the opposite by showing a close up, low angle shot to connote the feeling of inferiority to Corbyn, and the image is covered in a red filter to remind the mainstream audience of the semantics with the colour red (hell, blood, devil). This message also coincides with the title across the screen; "..would just be the start of a NIGHTMARE". This is very clearly supposed to influence the audience not to vote for Corbyn.
