The leftie leader was asked whether his new plans to crack down on the traditional media are a form of revenge.
But he insisted he's not bent on "retribution or retaliation" after newspapers and websites brought his party's links to racists and terrorists to light.
Mr Corbyn today revealed a programme of media reform which includes a state-owned version of Facebook and new taxes on web companies.
He also hit out at independent newspapers saying they were dominated by "elite power" during a speech in Edinburgh.
Asked if the plans were devised because he is angry that the media has "shone a light on anti-Semitism within the Labour party", Mr Corbyn replied: "I simply say this.
"I want us to have a strong and vibrant democracy and I support journalists who want us to have a strong and vibrant democracy.
"This isn't about any retribution or retaliation to anybody.
"I've spent my life fighting racism, I've spent my life opposing any form of racism.
"I've spent my life opposing anti-Semitism in any form. And that is exactly what my party is determined to achieve."
In recent months newspapers have exposed the anti-Jewish bigotry spouted by hundreds of Labour activists.
And recently it was the media which revealed that Mr Corbyn had helped lay a wreath at the graves of terrorists who plotted the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
