A who's-worse-fight with British tabloids is always going to be difficult to win - I can't believe that the News of the World was actually disbanded (though I'm sure it's just going to be a rebranding in disguise so nobody responsible is actually dealt with). I imagine they've also covered the latest outrage, when one of them chose to blame a teenager being killed by a falling tree branch on a teacher's strike.
