News corp papers will all be extinct in 10 years. To cling on to their remaining market share, they will print the sort of stuff that is likely to trigger a 'reaction'. They pitch the Tele to the reading ability of a 9 yr old. It's only the forces of political correctness that stop them re- introducing the Page 3 bikini girl.
In these circumstances, their stories, articles need not be based on facts, merely gossip. They use some real events to inspire what the stories will be about, but is as close as it will ever get to reliable coverage. Murdoch also uses his papers to peddle political propaganda that suits his own interests.
Suggest you don't buy it, don't read it. Use it with zippy to clean windows.
