Monkeys like Rothfield dance to the organ grinder's tune. It proves:
Rupert Murdoch's mind is very sick.
Journalists' jobs are declining rapidly- and hacks who wouldn't be considered by rational media have nowhere else to go.
Even within the Murdoch empire journos are competing against their fellow workers, to make sure they are not the next one let go.
That means being ever more sensationalistic, because Murdoch loves sensation and intrigue.
Facts are irrelevant, it's getting people to read the articles that matters.
The more hits, the safer your job.
Their targets are just collateral damage, sacrificed for a headline.
