How brave of AA Gill to let fly at Sky Atlantic's Fleming – the dramatic disaster 'without a single redeeming feature' – in a Murdoch-owned newspaper
It has sometimes been tempting, over the years, to see a slightly soft critical approach from Wapping's culture squad when asked to criticise the latest effusion from Fox or BSkyB (also known as The Empire of Murdoch).
