Murdoch paper 'may back Tories'

Murdoch paper 'may back Tories'

The Sun newspaper may be "torn" over which party to back at the next general election, owner Rupert Murdoch has said.

The paper, which has backed Labour at the last two polls, has shown support for new Tory leader Michael Howard.

Mr Murdoch told BBC2's Newsnight the Sun would examine whether the Tories "looked like a viable alternative government".

But he said the newspaper would not forget Tony Blair's "courage in the international sphere".

Of course the Tories will be backed by all Murdoch media. That Blair did everything Murdoch asked is of no relevance to Murdoch.

2. The Sun will go wherever they find a market.

After all, they did support the SNP in Scotland. All about the market share, these whores.
