Comments on: The Sun is not leading public opinion by backing the Tories, it’s merely following it http://www.wordsdept.co.uk/2009/09/30/the-sun-is-not-leading-public-opinion-by-backing-the-tories-its-merely-following-it/ <h2>A words-based weblog by Manchester journalist David Quinn</h2> Sun, 15 May 2011 15:42:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Robin Brown http://www.wordsdept.co.uk/2009/09/30/the-sun-is-not-leading-public-opinion-by-backing-the-tories-its-merely-following-it/comment-page-1/#comment-20981 Robin Brown Wed, 30 Sep 2009 16:09:03 +0000 http://www.wordsdept.co.uk/2009/09/30/the-sun-is-not-leading-public-opinion-by-backing-the-tories-its-merely-following-it/#comment-20981 Hmm, as ever our thoughts converge. The sight of a powerful Cameron egged on by a rampant press, and Murdoch sensing new opportunities, won't be a pleasant one though. Interested to read that Te Scottish Sun, or whatever the hell it's called, is being a little more circumspect, issuing Cameron with their own version of the 'do-what-we-say-if-you-want-our-backing' ultimatum.
