If you really want people to vote Labour, you might consider changing tactics.
Sorry, I don't buy that at all. Voters have a duty to gather as much facts as they can and process those facts before they vote. I go on the Daily Mail website and read the comments of their readers and they will happily applaud a right wing perceive truth and red arrow the truth, because it doesn't match their prejudices.
If voters are bone idle and lazy and are happy to be spoon fed propaganda by the popularist propaganda rags. They deserve all the scorn coming to them. The popularist right wing rags will tickle their useful idiots under the chin and defend their gullibility as a rational logical considered opinion. The right wing rags will always defend their useful idiots. You're right that useful idiots get offended whey their idiocy is exposed and would prefer to be flatted as coming to a conclusion through their own observation, but if you read a rag like the Sun, Mail, Star or Daily Mail, you're a useful idiot.
