OK, nothing to do with Kemptown politics per se (just the national scene and the media bias). Twitter was all fluttery about Kevin Maguire's tweet that James Murdoch & Rebekah Wade (now Brooks) from News Corps marched into the Independent's offices unannounced and unplanned to have a 'meeting' directly with editor Simon Kelner about the Indy's ad campaign and freebie election special papers that are being handed out today (...got my copy at Brighton station). No doubt the Indy's dig at the media's partisan support of the parties was discussed.
Actually, the dig was an undisguised an unabashed swipe at News Corp's support for the Conservatives.
This seems to have been confirmed just now on Today (Radio 4) by Sarah Montague (although she might just be rehashing the original Tweet and Guardian Media Monkey's post...don't know).
All quite exciting - politicians knocking lumps out of each other and now newspaper editors/owners. Bring it on!
[Story gains a bit more credence from The Guardian's Election Blog...although they have been known to get things wrong...I think I've said that before.]
