It seems to have become a given since he won the election, before this, the coverage of binface in the run up to this election has been endkess. If no one in the BBC or elsewhere thought he had a chance of winning, no one would have bothered reporting it.
Binface has been around for years, he never received this level of coverage before. Its pretty obvious that the bbc's natural bias against any anything right of soft left is why he got this much coverage from them.
