For all the praise for publishing Monbiot's piece, read this regarding the rest of the papers JC coverage: http://medialens.org/index.php/alerts/alert-archive/2015/798-the-guardian-readers-editor-responds-on-jeremy-corbyn.html
I suppose you could call it a good piece of navel searching, at least someone has analysed the bias against Corbyn.
An outside runner, comes in front with the people, and all hell breaks loose in the labour party. Journalists like Polly Toynbee are running scared of the implosion of the party; the surety of a specific set of governance has been blown to the wind by Corbyn, he really is an unknown factor and he may not be able to change things as many people want.
The whole things weird, the Guardian 'allows' free speech by its journalists? or is there an editorial bias, or a level playground for all contestants?

Judging by this piece and by the sheer volume of examples of subtle or belittling anti JC statements therein there i s editorial bias, and Monbiot was a one off strident sop to try and maintain or give an illusion of cred to a readership which must have a a considerable 'pro' element while there has been a constant 'anti' undercurrent. Medialens has caught the Guardian out, and I do not think this is the first time. As for the 'Comment is Free' section, the title is bollocks, it is overseen/monitored by people who delete or do not allow posts on certain subjects that do not support their worldview, eg the ME. This has been very well documented on Craig Murray's site in the past, particularily in the comments. For some Comment is Barred.
