How is media language used to Portray Corbyn to readers ahead of the election week?
The media language used in these newspapers to portray Corbyn ahead of the election week is very against Corbyn as especially The Sun as it is a Conservative Party supporter so would be against Corbyn. However The Guardian is the opposite as it is a Liberal Party supporter so it is also against Corbyn. The Sun uses nightmare in the front page suggesting if Corbyn was Prime Minister it would be a nightmare. The Sun also uses Friday 13th shows the bad side and the joke side of Corbyn becoming Prime Minister. Using this kind of media language shows the real hate and vigilant towards Corbyn and the bias language to Johnson. However in the Guardian they uses the same kind of media language against Corbyn but just not as extreme as nightmare instead calling it 'last-ditch drive'. This shows The Guardian believe Corbyn are ditching certain people 'to focus on voters' finances'. The way The Guardian have worded shows they do not want the ditch.
