¶ We’re cheered to read that Labour Party leader Ed Milliband has “declared war on Rupert Murdoch.” The easy winner of any right-minded person’s Most Loathsome Human prize, Mr Murdoch is all that holds us back from full-throated opposition to the death penalty.

Mr Murdoch is of course not responsible for the expansion of his evil media empire. That is the doing of dozens cowed politicians and regulators and millions of heedless “consumers.” That’s why he will embody, long after he is gone, a failure of democracy nearly as malignant as Germany’s Nazi misadventure.
