of course he won't survive.
Attacking the Sinking Sun King (a wounded animal-always most dangerous) is sacriligious.
It shows how beholden pathetic pollies are to the tabloids and the in particular, one boss.
These reporters (?)have no shame now. Frank Sinatra was right when he said all those years ago in Sydney that they were "2 dollar hookers"
His policies were useless but I don;t like to see someone so conned and it is unfair. But it shows up just how powerful the media has become with it's unfettered power.
I keep saying it : be ready for a determined attack upon the BBC with Cameron's co-operation.
This is a "Good Story" and there no one but Cable himself to blame for it being reported. Very bad judgement indeed, but there is a spin which I imagine will be started soon and will help - He was being honest and gave a straight answer.

I never really bought the 'Cablemania' that bubbled up earlier in the year. He's good but he's always been strangely amateurish. All the same, this has been a pathetic campaign against him. It's set up a fascinating political problem: the Tories can't kick him out without undermining the coalition, and they can't keep him in without making him seem above the normal rules; Labour can't attack him without alienating those many supporters who hate Murdoch, and they can't support him without strengthening the Coalition. I'd advise both parties to move on while they can.
Innocent Accused
Agree with David,Cable has the right ideas,but has acted like a fool.
This fool made his own 'good story',you can't blame the media for reporting bias.
