Conclusive proof that Rupert Murdoch doesn't set the editorial line at his Wapping tabloids. Both The Times and The Sun carry the same picture of Kate Moss today, but with very different captions. "Doesn't she scrub up well", writes Hugo Rifkind in his Times diary.
The Sun's showbiz reporter Jenna Good cannot agree. In a piece headlined Nice face, shame about the legs she claims that Ms Moss is "skeletal" with "worryingly" thin legs" and looks "pale and frail". Sun doctor Carol Cooper is drafted in to "voice fears" about the model "neglecting her health."
However, the more gallant Rifkind (whose comments, oddly, are not carried on his paper's website) thinks Ms Moss is "looking a good deal more glamorous than she has of late."
Surely this is the decisive evidence to swing the Wall Street Journal's board in Rupert's favour.
