On Murdoch's minions and their attitude towards the Liberal Democrats, it seems I'm not the only tin foil hatter in town (via).

The question also arises of News International's attitude to the Liberal Democrat party. The Sun has constantly mocked it in the past as a party of useless anti-war also-rans, in spite of its considerable popularity, and now I believe it wants to crush it. Its scorn is rooted in the fear that the party's rising fortunes have imperilled the political duopoly from which Rupert Murdoch, ever teasing with promises of patronage, has prospered.

So, has the Australian US based media baron decided to crush a legitimate British political party because it's existence a bit awkward? Let's watch this space and see how things play out in the coming months.
