It is hilarious how British left which has doubled in volume its attacks on News International and Rupert Murdoch since the latter announced the launch of the Sun On Sunday, are in total panic.
There are frantic illogical attacks on any professional journalist or politician welcoming the launch of the new paper. The British left find the the tabloid press its popular investigative role on behalf of Mr and Mrs average British taxpayer, draining the swamp of taxpayers fund in which the left happily exist, hence the British left’s final aim is destroying the tabloid by turning the Leveson into a witch hunt against Fleet Street.
