On the BBC website Laura Kuenssberg has written a gushing adulation of Keir Starmer's performance at #LabourConference2021 which concludes with the assertion that "Keir Starmer has shown a strong conviction to win".

It's such a bizarrely flattering interpretation of events, especially given the way Kuenssberg was caught red-handed creating fake news about Starmer's predecessor (a breech of impartiality that she should've been sacked for).

Kuenssberg has switched from creating elaborate 'fake news' deceptions to attack one Labour leader with, to writing reverential venerations of his floundering successor!
People will have their own explanations as to why.

Keir Starmer's main focus at Labour Conference was rigging the nomination process to exclude the Labour left, and women, and people of colour from the contest to decide who replaces him as Labour leader.

What kind of "winner" fixates on rigging the process to select their successor, rather than their actual job of taking the fight to the government?

And what kind of "winner" is so insecure in the popularity of their own ideology that they need to rig the process to ensure that their rivals are simply banished from the marketplace of ideas?

Then there's Starmer's lamentable track record in elections:
❗ Losing the Labour stronghold of Hartlepool
❗ Local election hammering
❗ Labour's worst ever performance in Scotland
❗ The worst by-election result in Labour Party history in Chesham and Amersham (1.6%)

Then there's the fact that Starmer is dreadfully unpopular with the public (despite the easy ride he gets from the media).
People just see that he's done an absolutely pitiful job of holding this corrupt and malicious Tory government to account.

The majority of British people want Starmer to quit immediately.
The majority of Labour voters want Starmer to quit immediately.
The majority of the Tory voters he's been courting so pathetically want Starmer to quit immediately.

The only demographic that seems to adore Keir Starmer are the tiny Lib-Dem 8%ers, and they're supporters of the party of political losers!

Then there's the fact that Starmer freely admitted to the BBC that he lied to everyone's faces during the Labour leadership election in order to con people into voting for him with a load of promises that he has no intention of keeping.

Starmer's a profoundly unpopular leader, who's outright admitted that he's a liar, with a dreadful track record of electoral failure, who's so obsessed with rigging the selection of his successor that he can't even be bothered to do the job he's supposed to ...

yet somehow Laura Keunssberg has decided to portray Starmer as a committed winner!
It's such a bizarre reality-reversed interpretation of what's been going on that it actually tells us something interesting about the mainstream media mind-manipulators.

It's such an absurd reality-reversal that it's impossible that they don't know it themselves.
But hacks like Laura are so arrogant and drunk on their own power, that they think they can convince the public to believe literally anything, no matter how nonsensical.

According to Laura and the rest of the groupthink-riddled UK political hacks, Starmer's speech wasn't an over-long borefest full of disingenuous rhetoric and self-awareness fails, which was only enlivened by the heckling, it was a glorious triumph!

And Starmer isn't a deeply unpopular empty suit with no integrity, no charisma, no desire to hold the Tories to account, no strategic nous, and no willingness to even acknowledge the way he's badly let people down by abstaining rather than opposing for the last 18 months.

Starmer's not the thing that anyone with any sense can see that he is, he's the polar opposite, he's a proven leader with a "strong conviction to win"!
And if the mind-manipulators can make you believe that, they can make you believe anything.
