Murdoch politicking hits sports coverage

Monday 07 May 2012

How many of our major sporting events have disappeared to Sky Sports because of the close relationship between our politicians and Clan Murdoch?

"Oh yes Mr Murdoch, we'll let you have the cricket rights for a bit of kudos."

"Is our BBC-bashing going to bring us a few good headlines Mr Murdoch?

"Oh thank you, thank you."

So now we are held to ransom to be able to watch so many of our sporting events.

"Good business practice," the Tories call it.

"Theft" is what I call it.
