A cartoon published today in a Rupert Murdoch newspaper is incensed about all the media coverage the Rupert Murdoch phone-tapping hearings are getting. Gosh, the Murdoch press wonders, why are people so ridiculously fixated on a tiny conspiracy that prompted the head of Scotland Yard to resign?

The cartoon, titled "Priorities...," thinks this relentless coverage is diverting attention away from more important topics, like African famine.

Really? African famine? Dudes, at least try to sound a little believable.
