Trevor Kavanagh strikes back at Alistair Campbell

Last week at the Leveson Inquiry into the press the war criminal and perjurer that is Alistair Campbell was very sanctimonious about the press, and singled out the Sun's Trevor Kavanagh for specific attack as the example of what is wrong with the press. Strangely this disgust hasn't stopped Campbell from working for the same boss as Kavanagh, who also owned the News of the World. 

He must have forgot his outrage!

For monumental cheek the hypocrite Campbell takes some beating.    

Alas for Campbell his power to instil fear in the press is waning. Once the victims of Campbell would keep silent to his bullying, or kill themselves. The world would continue to pretend that Campbell was a decent, honest, sane person. 

Not Kavanagh though who has the following in his column today,

ALASTAIR CAMPBELL, who once played the media like a fiddle, has the nerve to accuse the Press of being "putrid".

He is fortunate lobby journalists never reveal their sources.

Otherwise a queue of hacks could reveal how Alastair routinely dripped poison into their ears about everyone – then swore them to secrecy.

Luckily, some of us kept a diary.

 Now there's a threat! Apparently the rumour is that Kavanagh not only has a diary, he's got the recordings to back it up!

If a supine press aren't scared of you and feel under threat because of the lies Campbell says they'll rip him to shreds. Not by lies or insinuation as they usually do, but by spilling the beans on how he and labour operate and how most of the most egregious political attacks are down to him. That'll scupper political control of the press and may finish him at least allow him to be sued by the papers for his lies. 

I honestly think that Campbell is so used to being feared and being able to bully he forgot his powerless reality and how the papers and journalists will defend themselves against his lies.
