3. The Times (and Sunday Times) are Murdoch
So's The Sun, but I doubt they've paid any attention to the US election yet. It would need a sex scandal to do that.

The Telegraph used to be owned by Conrad Black, but is now owned by a rather secretive pair of brothers, the Barclays.

The Independent's biggest shareholder is the Irish ex-head of Heinz, Tony O'Reilly, though it seems someone else may be trying to take hold of the group:

7. can you spell cherry pick?
I knew that you could. By the way Hillary's great friend and supporter, Murdoch, owns the The Times- it's his flagship operation and he's been sliming Obama for ages. He fits in so well with the Clintons. No wonder they're so fond of one another.

9. your reading comprehension and slime smeared lens
prevent you from seeing just about anything with so much as a shred of clarity. I've criticized my choice of candidate frequently and defended Clinton as well. thankfully, I'm not as flat out biased as YOU.
