Daily Mail: Reports that Rupert Murdoch claimed today that former Labour PM Gordon Brown ordered Lord Peter Mandelson the then Business Secretary to make up lies as to a secret deal between Murdoch and the then Opposition Leader David Cameron.
Lets Get Real:
As the article notes Mr Murdoch again stated that in their last telephone exchange the former PM was unbalanced, thus its all out WAR between Murdoch and Brown. Either the former PM is being economic with the truth or Mr Murdoch is, the question will the total picture ever come out, one has doubts. The blog cant wait for the current PM David Cameron and former Labour leaders and Prime Ministers Blair and Brown to take the stand, the media will spend hours on it, as if we will ever get a clear picture of the power of the Murdoch Empire, that is in doubt. Mr Rupert Murdoch has stated that he has never asked a UK PM for anything, that his support was not based on some secret deal. The statement was made under oath, and so far no real challenge, does this blog believe it for a minute, well this quote jumps to mind, “ You might think that but I could not comment ”. It will be interesting to see Brown take the stand, both Murdoch and Blair have gone through different Court and other Inquires in the past, lets see how Gordon Brown stand up to close questioning.
