Is that Homer Le Grande?
 
One of the top News Ltd people in the US is Robert Thompson, huge huge Essendon supporter, known confidante of Hird and mentor to him.

You do the maths.

Do you think Thompson is the guy Hird cited as the anonymous mentor in the US who encouraged him to take the EFC coaching gig in his On the COuch interview from September 2010? Video from about 2:40.) Healy asks Hird if it's Rupert Murdoch, and it looks like he's going to give some clue, but he hesitates to say anything.

Fair chance I'd say.

Yes. It is no secret that Robert Thompson is Hird's business mentor. Thompson is 2nd in charge behind Rupert Murdoch in the whole News empire.

It has been glaringly obvious that Chip Le Grand, Mark Robinson, Mick Warner, Grant Baker, Rod Law, Gerard Whately(on 360), Julian De Stoop and more, have been given the thumbs up from on high at News to "PROTECT JAMES". When News back you, they go hard and they go relentless.

Hanke, currently holed up in Spring Street in the same building at the Victorian State Parliament press gallery, is just one of an impressive team. Some are being paid to preserve Hird's reputation and some are doing so because they admire him and genuinely believe his greatest sin was naivety.

Another senior Liberal identity has been working behind the scenes with at least one prominent Victorian to rally support for Hird. AFL commissioner and lifelong Bombers fan Bill Kelty was caught visiting Hird several months ago when the spotlight had turned to the Essendon coach.

Many work in the media and have been selectively given details of Hird's involvement in the program that has so damaged Essendon's reputation and tarnished the AFL. One of Hird's closest friends, Rod Law, is a senior executive at Fox Footy, and a key occasional mentor is Rupert Murdoch's international right-hand man, the Melbourne-born Essendon supporter Robert Thompson.

I certainly think News have form for this sort of thing.

That said I think the Save James stuff falls pretty neatly into their anti-government, anti-agencies, anti-bureaucracy, anti-expert shtick. 'They' are always tying to stop 'us' from doing what 'we' want. 'We' know best and all their rules are bunkum. Speed-cameras are revenue raisers, cyclists should be pay rego, immigrants are all out to kill us. Alan Jones, Bolt, LeGrande, Robinson are all cut from the same tabloid cloth. The same delusion where they claim to speak for the little man without anyone twigging that the little man is a millionaire.

Hird is the little man being brought down by 'them'. A natural for News to rally around.

As far as Chip is concerned Hird is no different to a cop brought down by unproven corruption allegations, developers prevented from building what they want, or climate change deniers being shouted down by 'leftists'.

You forgot "nanny state".

Also in a rhetorical masterstroke that same millionaire is not part of the elites but someone on an average income with leftish views is apparently.
