This is a normal post Interesting and yet depressing
Orders book. Should sent me deranged with rage at how politicians can toady up to such scum. That picture of Blair and Brooks nearly had me chucking the PC out of the window.

Rebekah Brooks never comes across as a particularly sympathetic character does she?

Nick Davies is one of the best journalists in the UK. Damn impressive stuff. Here he is getting righteously angry at a tabloid hack.

This is a normal post I like Nick Davies. If only because he doesn't like Julian Assange.

This is a normal post The little miss Tuffet analogy was amazing,
This is top drawer stuff. And the bit about how News International would get their revenge on Chris Bryant, and indeed they did apparently, when the Mail on Sunday, that well known Murdoch title, published a minor sex story on him. What a load of sensationalised tin foil hat bollocks. The power of Murdoch has long been exaggerated. Oh look, the last five prime ministers had Murdoch's support says this guy, so he must be the kingmaker. This rather overlooks the fact that he is simply inclined to switch sides when he sees which way the wind is blowing. And frankly, I don't think either Major or Brown would regard him as ever being particularly supportive. His power and influence is overstated, especially by anyone in the meeja, because by doing so it overstates the power and influence of the media itself, and therefore by extension the importance of the very meeja types bemoaning the apparently omnipotent Murdoch. As big as Murdoch is, his influence has never com anywhere near matching that of the BBC, far and away the most influential media source in the UK. This fact is overlooked because it doesn't really fit the conspiracy theory that Murdoch runs the show. The whole fawning attitude of politicians to the media in general is sickening, but the modern style of media management, which seems to be akin to fellatio, was pioneered by someone who is now one of Murdoch's biggest critics: Alastair Campbell. The irony is lost on him. He never minded Murdoch's backing when things were going his way.
