Labour have had decades to get a proper media. What happened?
They were in cahoots with Murdoch
Since the 1960's when they handed him the Daily Herald, they are not to be trusted.
What piffle.
The Daily Herald was owned by The International Publishing Corporation, who bought a controlling share in 1961. It underwent several changes of management before ceasing publication in 1964, when it was relaunched as The Sun, in its pre-Murdoch form.
By 1969 the original Sun had fewer readers than the Herald at the end of its existence. The newspaper was then sold by IPC to Rupert Murdoch's News Limited.
I can find no record of Labour owning the Herald or giving it to Murdoch. It was bought on the open market.
He's another Tory who wants Socialist interventionist policies in the free market to solve problems. He quotes the worldwide banking crash, which didn't affect Socialist countries as badly as USA, UK etc.
There was no reason not to stop the sale to Murdoch, was there? Are you for a free market or a Socialist controlled economy? Which?
