Talk:The Sunday Times (UK)

 * I've removed the following from the Sunday Times (UK) article. "Murdoch's firing of editors Harold Evans of The Times (in 1982) and Andrew Neil of the Sunday Times (in 1994) were both widely felt to be over reporting by the papers that angered the Tory governments -- during a period when government decisions were massively enriching the tycoon." (Russ Baker, Columbia Journalism Review, May/June 1998)."
 * This isn't the correct way to source information, the reference should be at the bottom of the article. Surely quoting exactly should be used to back up a statement already made, not be the sole source of a statement in an article. Secondly I'm not sure about the statement itself. Regarding Andrew Neil, in his autobiography he states the reason Murdoch got rid of him was that he was tiring of the status he was getting. You can argue that it was because Neil was rubbing the government up the wrong way but Murdoch put up with that for years and again I think it is only because he tired of the hassle, not the stories themselves.

 * OK. I'm not sure I even added it myself - it was already in the Sunday Times article when I separated out S Times (UK). Rd232 16:29, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
