From the blogpost: http://wp.me/p3xSxU-or This week Ed Miliband seems to have rattled a few right-wing media cages with his statement that the Labour party is a "Democratic Socialist" party. Of course the media, and former Sunday Times editor Andrew Neil in particular, decided to focus solely on the word "socialist" and then to view the entire week's proceedings at the Labour party conference through that red tinted prism. Thus every day this week The Sunday and then the Daily Politics have shouted the word socialist from the rafters and it has been clear that they had an agenda. Several times, starting with Rachel Reeves on Sunday, Andrew Neil & Co have asked various conference attendees if they or their party are "socialist"? But when the answer has come back "Yes, democratic socialist" Neil and his associates have appeared to ignore the answer and claim that, if the speaker was a member of the shadow cabinet, they were resisting mentioning the word.
