Why The Sun's Cameron Endorsement "Is All About Murdoch's Son James"

The Independent:

The truth is that Rupert can't stand David Cameron. He physically reacts to his name. He gets a sour face. His shoulders twist away. The way David looks annoys him: "He's too sharp." The way he talks bothers him: "It's happy talk." His entire mettle as a man, Rupert doubts: "I don't take him seriously. Who would?" And he doesn't trust his politics: "He'll say anything." There's only one mitigating factor in his view of David Cameron: "James quite likes him."

And there's the rub. ... The Sun's early and critical endorsement of Cameron, cruelly coming as Brown was gamely trying to rally his own troops, is all about Murdoch's son James.

Polls in the UK show that the Labor party is trailing badly, it is quite likely that they will lose the next election. Murdock's papers are just doing their usual scam. They check the polls, determine how the wind is blowing and then try to imply that they have some ability to influence elections.

The most detestable tabloid in the UK, by far.

If Cameron is trying to appeal to the average Sun reader, Britain is in deep trouble.

Actually, the UK was first destroyed, we were the second victim of Murdoch.
And both were after he'd done it to his native Australia.
