I think this hit piece by Novara complaining that The Guardian have hired a journalist who accurately reported on Corbyn's trip to Tunisia should be generating more comment, particularly given that it's based on defending Corbyn from accusations of a thing he admitted doing. 
Given Bastani wrote to my boss twice trying to have me sacked, we're in a position where the country's leading Corbynite media outlet seems to be engaged in a personal war to get journalists who accurately reported on their failed political project fired.
"The Guardian should not hire this journalist who exposed the bad lies Corbyn tried to tell after the PR blowback from his visit to Tunisia" is a pretty rancid way for a supposedly left wing outlet to operate, but it's where we are now.
Corbyn laid a wreath at the graves of Salah Khalaf and Atef Bseiso. He admitted doing so in the Morning Star & he was pictured holding the wreath over the graves. Then, after he became Labour leader, he became embarrassed by this photo opp & tried to walk it back.
He claimed he was instead there solely to lay a wreath for victims of the Israeli air strike on the former PLO headquarters in Tunisia. The truth is photos from the event show him at that memorial in the background looking disinterested.
The only wreath Corbyn is ever seen holding during those photographs is over Khalaf and Bseiso's grave. He went on to say in his Morning Star column that "wreaths were laid" for "others killed by Mossad agents in Paris in 1991", which would be Bseiso, who died in Paris in 1992.
Anyone who is still telling you Corbyn was only there to pay tribute to the victims of the Tunisia air strike is, to put it simply, lying.
Interesting to think that Bastani spent the weekend retweeting Glenn Greenwald in defence of Joe Rogan over some free speech issue on the same day he wrote a hit piece lobbying the Guardian to fire a journalist for accurately reporting on something he wants repressed.
You would think if Novara Media cared about accurately reporting the story they would include a photo of where Corbyn’s wreath was placed in the article, but that would involve admitting Emine Sinmaz was telling the truth & that Corbyn’s press office lied.
