Almost, the Overton window is often much wider than individual media companies use. However, your point actually supported my argument as the audience was clearly willing to accept outside the range of existing content.
In the reverse case everyone would ignore Corbyn as people do flat earthers. It's only because he exits within the audiences realm of acceptance that anyone is willing to pay attention.
Corbyn's enduring popularity in spite of initial hostility from every single media establishment would appear to contradict this narrative.
The agenda of each media outlet is clearly set by the owners albeit with market forces sometimes pushing them one way or the other.
