No, what I meant is that radical departure from a news organization's
ideology is rare, and that applies equally to left and right. This
is why I admire Nick Cohen so much. He's arguing against his natural
constituency and losing a lot of friends because of it, but he won't
give up, which is brave, and journalists are rarely brave because
they have a living to make. Yes, I agree that the big owners are to
the right. But not everyone who supports the invasion is rightwing
and everyone who opposes it left. (I don't like these terms much as
I've said before.) Neo-nazis were marching against the war yesterday
in Germany, and the London Times doesn't seem keen on it. Yet the
Observer, which is leftwing, supports it.

I would take issue with your statement that it applies as much to
left as right. Although that is true *in theory*, in practice, I
think you would agree, the people who own these monstrous
organisations are unequivocally to the right politically. Murdoch,
Conrad Black, Berlusconi, etc etc.
