Grey Cardigan: Murdoch’s A-Team to the rescue

By Grey Cardigan

The film re-make of cult Eighties TV series The A-Team has been universally panned by the critics … except in today’s Sun.

They sent an original A-Team fan and a lad of 12 to see the film and guess what? They both loved the movie, scoring it 8/10 and 9/10 respectively.

Surprised? Well The A-Team was made by 20th Century Fox, owned by Rupert Murdochs’s News Corporation. I need not remind you who owns The Sun.

Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together?
