Blair flew to Australia to secure Murdoch's support through his media empire in order to secure political power.

He gave Rupert a desk at No10 when they were selling the Iraq war, based on a pack of lies. Rupert drummed the propaganda into people's heads through newspapers.

Cameron went to Rupert's yacht to secure his backing for political power in the last election.

Not wishing to repeat myself but it reminds me of Spengler's 1912 book 'Decline of The West':

“In the world of facts, truths are simply means, effective insofar as they dominate spirits and therefore determine actions.“

"The means of the present are, and will be for many years, parliamentary-elections and the press."

“The will-to-power operating under a pure democratic disguise has accomplished its task so well that the objects sense of freedom is actually flattered by the most thorough-going enslavement that has ever existed. What is truth? For the multitude, that which it continually reads and hears… The public truth of the moment, which alone matters for effects and successes in the fact-world, is today a product of the Press. What the Press wills, is true. Its commanders evoke, transform, interchange truths. Three weeks of Press work, and the 'truth' is acknowledged by everybody.”
