Wade And Found Wanting

The future of British family newspaper the Sun was plunged into doubt yesterday when redheaded editor Rebekah Wade revealed the dismay her policies have caused to British communications entrepreneur and national hero Rupert Murdoch.

Sexy stunna Rebekah, 39, admitted disagreements with Mr Murdoch over coverage of national issues like Big Brother and I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

Mr Murdoch, who is 76 and has a family to support, was "often dismayed" about the content of the paper, Rebekah admitted.

However, she claimed not to remember discussing "tomorrow's newspaper in the censorious sense that you keep telling me exists and I say doesn't".

She was speaking to the Lords communications committee, but despite a record of suspected domestic violence she is not expected to face criminal charges.

The Sun is thought to be vulnerable to competition from free advertisements, the internet and the demise of independent newsagents. This thought to be because the Sun is at the popular end of the market, unlike the Guardian which does not suffer these nuisances.

Rebekah's red-headed editorship has seen the British family newspaper's circulation drop below three million for the first time in over 30 years, but she claimed to be "quite upbeat" about the prospect of further decline.
