Murdoch's outlets tend to have a pro-Conservative bias, the exception being The Sun which really just follows public opinion.

You're right, Labour are asking for Cable (a Lib Dem) to be stripped of his power... but that's because they're in opposition, and Cable is a very popular politician in the minority party of the coalition - a lot of back bench LD MPs could kick off if Cable was removed from Government - destablalizing the coalition itself, and thus aiding Labour in their opposition postion.

Well, at least it's good to know that it's not just American politicans who can surprise me in the unbelievable actions they'd take to support themselves.

This would be like Democrats asking that some Green party guy be removed from power because of their criticizing... well Ruper Murdoch I guess.

Rupert Murdoch's news stations always do slant Conservative, mostly because that's usually a huge niche to fill, reporters and news owners usually being more liberal.

What Murdoch believes is far more murky. 

It's the job of the opposition to be fiercely critical of government. Keeps them on their toes.
