So Rupert "Dirty Digger" Murdoch is putting his online papers behind a "Paywall" is he? Well tough titty Rupie, I have never yet seen any of your news paper or publishing acquisitions actually improve although they do dive downmarket and swing to the right with great zeal. I have never actually bought a copy of The Bum although her indoors once bought one at Christmas to find out what was on the Telly over the holidays. It did have the TV schedules in it so all was not lost.
The Times was once the worlds premier and most reveered Newspaper but now its not so much The Thunderer as the Grumbler. and as for the Sun, how much cheap cheese can one really swallow without having nightmarees. I remember one commentator describing the Digger not as a publisher but as a Right Wing politician with interests in publishing. and though he would no doubt deny interfering in the editorial independence of his various organs his intentions are clearly known by his editors and staff who dont even need to be told but willingly apply self censorship to echo His Masters Voice.
