In Australia - where there's little else but the Murdoch press - Labor is always bad, and always responsible, no matter who is in power.
During the nine years of LNP rule, journalists would hound Labor members and demand what they were going to do about some crisis. Utterly bemusing, as they had as much power - actually in reality less - than the journalist, who usually had the ear of the relevant minister.
Of course, now they're in power, the journalists are still hounding Labor and giving lots of free publicity to the LNP.
Murdoch isn't the power behind the throne, he's the one sitting on the throne.
Always hard to gauge the mood of the readership from the comments, but getting rid of Dildo Baggins seems to have gone down very well, as has the arrival of his replacement.
Feels as though that paper, in particular, like many responsible for pushing the government line or shaping opinion, has misjudged the mood of its audience.
