Rupert Murdoch's Sleazebag: The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game
Remember Alexandra Polier, the freelance journalist who right-wing rent boy Matt Drudge and Rupert Murdoch's British tabloid, Sun, falsely named as John Kerry's mistress? Remeber how Drudge claimed Polier's mother called Kerry "a sleazebag?" Though the story died months ago, Polier is back -- and this time she's on the attack.
New York Mag is soon to publish a story in which Polier tries to interview the first sleazebag to name her, Brian Flynn of the Sun. Flynn's reaction to her request pretty much tells it all. Here's an excerpt:
Afraid I would lose my temper, I asked my editor to call first. 'I was calling to ask you who your source was for your story which named Alex Polier as the intern in the Kerry story,' she asked.

"Ah, many people have asked me; it was a fantastic source," he said. "I broke that story to the world, you know!" he added proudly. "But your source was wrong," she pointed out. He paused, startled. "You've just ambushed me," he cried. "You've ambushed me!"

"I think you should speak to Alex," she said and passed me the phone.

"Hello," he said, sounding nervous.

"I'd like to talk to you. I'm writing a piece and have some questions."

"It's not a good time right now," he said. "Let's meet up next week."

"Why did you quote my mother when she wasn't even home?" I persisted.

"I really can't talk about this right now, Alex," he said.

When I finally tracked him down the following week, he was brusque and told me to go through The Sun's PR office. I asked him about my mother again, but he kept saying, "Sorry, Alex, proper channels." Reached in London, Lorna Carmichael, The Sun's PR manager, refused to comment. I went to Flynn's apartment, and spoke to his wife through the intercom. "Go away and leave us alone!" she cried. "He's not going to come down or speak to you."
