Murdoch ♥ Cameron

Rupert Murdoch’s support for the New Labour project may well be on the wane following the rise in popularity of David Cameron. Always one to back a potential winner, Murdoch clearly sees the vacuous Eton-educated Tory leader as the man to better further his agenda. [The Guardian]

Other than finding out the Number Ten tea lady is an Al-Qaida supporting asylum seeker, it’s hard to imagine worse news for the increasingly media-obsessed cabinet.

The Chancellor (he’s the sweaty one with the false smile) will be increasingly frustrated that a key pillar of the New Labour strategy, the support of Murdoch’s News International, can no longer be relied upon in any future election.

News International’s tabloid newspaper, The Sun, is widely credited with delivering a substantial voting block in any General Election.

Murdoch revealed this revelation in an interview with his own newspaper, The Australian. In the text, the Aussie-born Billionaire highlights his widely known disdain for the European Union, and guardedly chastises Tony Blair for his position on the subject. However, only a moron would expect Mr. Brown to actually pull-out of the EU, so one can expect an increasingly critical tone from The Sun and probably The Times.

Why not take a look at the Mr. News Internationals assets, here, they’ll certainly highlight why he’s so ‘Euroskeptic.’

Murdoch is of course an American citizen and a staunch supporter of Bush and Blair’s war in Iraq. Murdoch’s Fox News network is also the chief cheerleader for Bush’s Republican Party, regularly ignoring new stories that put the GOP in a bad light, and hiring low-level, fully lobotomised, leaflet-holding party drones to represent the Democrats in live debates.

It’s only a matter of time before Brown panics and declares a quiet contempt for Brussels (while doing and promising a big-fat nothing), in a vain attempt to curry favour with the war-loving media mogul. For if we have learnt anything from the last eighteen months, let it be, that we know Brown is little more than a vacant and ideologically bankrupt coward.
