Rats and sinking ships?

Anybody else sense a whiff of hypocrisy in the way Parliament is turning on Rupert Murdoch and News International?  All parties have been prepared to try and use him - or more to the point, the influence of his papers - when it suited them.  Remember "It's The Sun Wot Won It"?  Mostly hubris to be sure, but there was more than a grain of truth in there - a lot of people read The Sun and many of them take their lead from the stance it takes on politics among other things.  So having The Sun on your side sure helps and successive leaders of all parties have been careful to get in Rupert Murdoch's good books - or at the very least, not to be in his bad books.   It will be interesting to see how he reacts to the way they are now treating him - he could well take the approach of "a plague on all your houses" and use his papers to advise people not to bother to vote at all.  That would be interesting!
