Murdoch's been influencing our politics for years now, but what I find really sickening is the way both major party leaders suck up to him in an attempt to have the Sun back them.
In the eighties and early nineties the Sun was staunchly Conservative, but once it saw which way the political wind was blowing, and with new Labour sucking up to Murdoch the Sun had what can only be called an epiphany, and began to back Labour.
What a lot of senior Conservatives are worried about is David Davis alienating Murdoch with this stunt, its been said by politicians and journalists that a party can't win without the Sun's backing. What a truly sad state of affairs that this Aussie thug has such sway in our politics.
