Murdoch rag publishes Mandelson puff piece despite Epstein scandal

Here at the Canary, we’ve long criticised Rupert Murdoch and his grotty tabloid (the Sun) and his grotty broadsheet (the Times). We’ve got to admit, though; even we didn’t think they’d publish a puff piece on Peter Mandelson in the middle of his Epstein-stoked mega downfall:

I deleted my post from before…

I thought it was fake

So I went to WH Smith and here it is

An unbelievable attempt to sanitise this man and normalise what’s he’s done. pic.twitter.com/HXTgAn8D5C

Just when you think the British media can’t sink any lower, the floor falls out from under your feet.

Mandelson — Good lord, what now?

To quickly get you up to speed:

• Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of sex crimes with an underage prostitute.
• Mandelson maintained a friendship with him anyway.
• The British media decided this wasn’t really a big deal, even when Starmer made him the ambassador to the US.
• Additional leaks showed that Mandelson really, really liked Epstein.
• Even more additional leaks showed that this fucking rat was leaking British state secrets to Epstein.

Digitally, we’ve had access to the Mandelson interview since the 2 November. We also had access to the pictures. And while the interview seemed ill-judged at the time, it’s so much fucking worse to publish a printed copy several days later.

Just look at this cunt:

The Times just conducted a "friendly" interview with Peter Mandelson (pictured half naked with young girls) that says he was “manipulated” by Jeffery Epstein.

Fucking disgusting.

People have tried to give a more honest impression of who Mandelson is:

I’ve managed to fix The Times Magazine cover for this weekend.
Hope this helps.

When we say the interview was ‘ill advised’, what we mean is it provided the notorious liar Mandelson with yet another opportunity to lie to the public:

In The Times gushing paedophile apologia puff piece on Peter Mandelson by @katyballs, he claims Epstein lied to him about his indictment for trafficking children.

We detailed Mandelson’s slimy excuses here.

As we also reported, Mandelson sent a notice out to media outlets on 6 Feb begging the press not to hold him to account. And yet a day later:

Stop giving him oxygen

The only further opportunity Mandelson should have to lie to the public is in court, where he will be put on trial for the soon-to-be-unveilled crime of ‘Mandelsoning with intent‘.

Oh, and also for misconduct in public office (a crime which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison 🤗):
