But what, there's more! Not only has Deputy PM Milne stated quiet emphatically that there would indeed be an inquiry, but the Minister for War Against Regional Australia, Sarah Hanson-Young has stated that the inquiry would also explore the forced break-up of News Ltd, or as she likes to call them 'the hate media'. A more accurate term which Senator Hanson-Young might like to consider is 'the big meanie media that always points out how stupid I am'. I think the good senator is a little off the mark here, though. Reporting her numerous gaffes and incompetence is hardly part of some 'News Ltd. Conspiracy', it's just really easy (and fun!) to do...

The simple fact of the matter is that the Greens and Labor just do not like what News Ltd is printing, so they cry foul and claim it is some perverse attempt at regime change. The media reports what is going on in the community and reflects the attitudes and values of its readers. It is a reflection of popular opinion. The government's issue isn't really with the media, they just don't like the reflection which is starring them in the face.
The truth hurts, doesn't it Prime Minister?
