It was always about the oil...

Not really a shocking expose, and it's from a left-of-centre news source, but still...

Erm, yeah. Mail/Times/Telegraph/Sun/Express - right wing, Guardian/Mirror/Indy - left wing. I haven't seen much change in the editorial stance of the Indy, and I'm a regular reader.
