The BBC Murdoch documentary really hammers home how true this is. I mean, it is BBC so it's not ENTIRELY without anti-Murdoch-Media bias, but it points to a few things that are just undeniable. The UK printed press still holds vast sway over UK politics and has effectively nudged every election the way they want it for decades.
That said, it also shows that it is inherently self-serving and will bend whichever way suits at the time; it's not impossible for them to turn on the Tories under the right circumstances. Tony Blair effectively persuaded Murdoch to back New Labour in the tabloids and it lead to an easy decade in power for Labour.
