Ken v The Daily Mail

I think I can see both sides of the Ken Livingstone situation, with him claiming to have been targeted by Associated Newspapers over the last 24 years.

On the other hand, being told your job is like a concentration camp guard's is not very pleasant.

Now Blair's weighed in, speaking on that most august of programmes, The Wright Stuff on Five. Surely you're not appeasing the powerful Daily Mail Mr Blair?

So it's interesting to read the thoughts of a selection of journalists who either currently work for Associated, or who have worked there. Just about all of those who are in any way critical are anonymous, because they know what a powerful behemoth Associated is, and they know that they may have to work there one day. Murdoch famously said that he thought at one time there may only be his stable of papers and the Daily Mail.
