He very clearly was, and the press didn't do anywhere near enough to point out the failings of the Tories. Thing is, Corbyn should have anticipated that and should have responded accordingly but he never did. See, that's where I disagree. The press has been portraying Johnson as a giant buffoon going back pretty much to his days as mayor, and in the week leading up to the election saw a number of old controversies from back when he was mayor dredged up as if it was new news. Even something as simple as which pictures to choose, where they picked the most disheveled one possible for Johnson, is evidence that he had plenty of opposition. I'm not going to claim that it's a perfect one to one, mainly because I don't have access to a lot of the local papers in specific districts that might have been saying differently, but I don't think it's a fair statement to say that corbyn was criticized significantly more than Johnson, and certainly not in the weeks leading up to the election. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
