Re: Corbyn's interview (or non interview) with Sky on Sunday
That 'interview' reminds me of the Paxman interview with Michael Howard.
Funny the difference in responses though from the usual suspects on here http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/hehe.gif
The problem that Howard found and that Corbyn will also find is that you need to speak to the press and TV news - no matter how annoying you find them.

Re: Corbyn's interview (or non interview) with Sky on Sunday
Funny that as Caroline Flint when applying to be deputy leader said
"Communication: I'll go on the Today programme and Question Time (just like I did yesterday!), and sit on the Good Morning Britain sofa, and explain to people what Labour stands for and why people should support us, as well as defend the party on difficult days.
Commons: I'll deputise for the leader in the House of Commons at Prime Minister's Questions."
http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/hehe.gif - It's like a tap that keeps on giving.
I truly hope Corbyn comes up with something of an alternative - would love an end to austerity - as promised.

perhaps that was only the first question and the journalist had more questions to ask. We will never know as man of the people Corbyn believes his politics are above scrutiny by the press.

If he had more questions then he should have piped up, the fact he asked the same provocative question repeatedly shows he had nothing else up his sleeve and Corbyn was right to ignore him, especially considering the fact he went on to appoint 16 women in his cabinet shortly afterward.

That's absurd logic. The press have a right to ask him questions and he is well within his rights to ignore them - that's democracy. It's also worth noting that the "free press" that is "one of the cornerstones of our democracy" is not some neutral entity but is heavily weighted in favour of the political right. They have been involved in a rabid campaign of character assassination against him over the past few weeks and if he wants to give them a silent two fingered salute that's up to him. Whether, tactically, this is good politics or not is another question.
