'The Sun' Doesn't Shine For Rupert Murdoch

Rupert Murdoch, the man in whose soft pillow hands the world's largest media empire rests, is none too pleased with one of his minions, the British tabloid The Sun. According to The Guardian's Owen Gibson, the crinkle-faced mogul is "'dismayed' at the volume of the paper's showbiz coverage and the acres of space regularly given over to reality TV stars." Today for instance, headlines read: "Eddie: I'm Not Weddie", "Ronson a Brit Dodgy" and "Jordan Wins Boobie Prize." But, according to Rebekah Wade, Sun EIC, Rupert does enjoy Pop Idol (UK's version of American Idol, see they don't have American Idol here because well, obviously). Also, like my boss, Rupert Murdoch calls his underlings at 1:30am to criticize/advise/criticize! Quotes after jump.
