Murdoch's hyenas are at it again

The most unconscionable tabloid of the world's most unconscionable media czar demonstrates again that it (The Sun) is the grubbiest and nastiest of all tabloids.

Last week its vile editors broke an undertaking to the British Royal Family not to invade Prince William's privacy. Murdoch's Australian opened its report (2 April 2004) on the incident thus:

Britain's royal family has reacted with anger after The Sun tabloid newspaper splashed pictures of Prince William with his 'first serious girlfriend' yesterday, breaking a media deal not to invade his privacy.

The Sun [London] printed a series of photos of William, elder son of the heir to the throne Prince Charles, enjoying a skiing holiday in the exclusive Swiss resort of Klosters with a girl the story named as Kate Middleton.

It was the first time a British newspaper had ignored the agreement...

The only surprise that one should experience at this news is that those vile media people restrained themselves as long as they did. But, really, it was simply a case of the hyenas being beaten back until they saw the chance to break out all over again.

That they are busting to subject Prince William to the same treatment that killed his mother is of absolutely no concern to them. Indeed, they would love to accompany Prince William back to London in a coffin. A dead girlfriend beside him would help, too. Just imagine the scoop - and the revenue!

If I were in the unlikely position of having Queen Elizabeth standing in front of me, I would address her thus:

Your Majesty, these people are the world's biggest bastards. They have less conscience, and more front, than the Al Qaida terrorists. In the spirit of Al Qaida terrorists, they will never change, they will never honour an agreement unless forced to, they hate everything the royal family and traditional life stand for, their pleasure is in inverse proportion to your pain...

Stop playing by the rules they ignore. Hit back. Hit back hard. You know, bastards like these will only take notice if you take them on. You may give them some free scoops to begin with, but in the long run most people will support your standing against them on principle and in defence of decent society. Perhaps you need a good decent Aussie digger to stick to them...
