A bit of both maybe but methinks he doth protest too much. Nobody forced Brown to deal with Murdoch or endure the shabby relationship during all the years he and Bliar were chums. I don't recall him complaining publicly about any of it at the time so clearly he put his personal/party interests first.
It's all very well the likes of John Prescott banging on about how awful it was that Murdoch had such influence over politicians but they tend to skirt around the fact that those same politicians
allowed themselves to be influenced. Why? Probably because they felt it served their purpose....
