Rupert Murdoch berates 'horrible elites' over the Sun's Page 3

Rupert Murdoch is unhappy about the “fuss and publicity” over the fate of the Sun’s Page 3, as this tweet shows.

I like that line about “horrible elites”. I imagine that’s a reference to the Guardian (I don’t think I constitute an elite myself) and the BBC. But what of Sky News? Is that an elite?

Surely he cannot mean the No More Page 3 campaigners either. They are the very opposite of an elite.

Anyway, it’s a relief to know that the Sun “will always have great looking women - and men”, but what about those asterisks?

In case you missed it, Marina Hyde’s riff on the Sun’s use of t*ts was a real g*m.
