See just when you thought there wasn't a god The Sun comes out and makes a howler managing to spell the name of the mother Jacqui Janes wrong on its website as it uses her and her fallen Jamie son in a tawdry effort to attack Gordon Brown for political gain. It is hard to say if this is a new low...
First it was the New York Times and now Rupert Murdoch has hinted that News Corporation may not hit its year end deadline to implement paid content. Murdoch, who owns the Times and the Sun, Wall Street Journal and New York Post (what a great front page; great game), told reporters that he can not promise...
Danny Dyer, Britain's second hardest man, is at it again. Last month he accused Verne Troyer of hitting on his wife at the Pride of Britain Awards (presumably Dyer was there for his seminal Most Dangerous Men series). He stopped short, however, of giving the Mini Me actor a 'slap' as he is...

The Labour faithful were in high spirits after Gordon's speech which had something for both the left (abolishing hereditary peers) and the right (a ban on council houses for teen mums) of the party. But later on the news that The Sun had declared its...
‘The summer’s over, I’ve had time to think about it, I want to quit,’ appears to be the mantra being followed by many high-profile media execs this month. Recession or not, September has lived up to its billing as the month which gets headhunters hearts racing. Today’s news that Andy Brent, group brand...
The story that won't seem to lie down and die quietly rumbles on as News Corp desperately continues to try to lead their fellow publishers into pay-for-content models. If they could get everyone to follow suit, this strategy may well work - hence James Murdoch's recent vitriolic attack on the...
