Guess which front page fails to lead on Leveson?

Media Integrity

Would you believe it? The Sun is the only UK national newspaper not to lead on James Murdoch, Jeremy Hunt and the Leveson Inquiry today.

There’s only one story everyone’s talking about, right? A Cabinet minister under fire, revelations galore, questions of impropriety, surely every newspaper will lead on this story, or at least mention it on their front page?

Not when one of them is the plaything of one R. Murdoch, as the montage below shows:

James-Murdoch-Jeremy-Hunt-Leveson-newspaper-front-pages-25-04-12
That’s right, The Sun are leading on the, admittedly (back page) headline news that Fernando Torres finally found the net to send Chelsea into the Champions League Final at Camp Nou (and what a goal!), while every other paper – including fellow News International publication The Times – leads on (or mentions) James Murdoch’s Leveson Inquiry testimony, in which he dropped culture secretary Jeremy Hunt in the stew.

Maybe their final edition will lead on it? Then again, maybe Torres will score the winner at the Allianz Arena three-and-a-half weeks hence…

Or maybe they’ll lead on Leveson tomorrow following Rupert’s appearance today?!

    It COULD be argued that The Sun knows what its readership is mostly interested in and that its readers’ interest may not extend to corruption at the highest level. On the other hand, before Rupert Murdoch got his hands on the paper, red-top tabloids used to explain complicated issues in easily understandable terms rather than pimp off telly talent shows and soaps.

    But even with my most woolly-minded liberal bobble-hat on, The Currant Bun certainly seems to be out of step with the others on this one, today. . .
