While Murdoch has been involved in editorial policy, argues Shawcross (ibid.: 184), he has not done this at all time and in all places. When he replaced the editor at the Village Voice, he did not replace her with a more conservative editor and he did not influence coverage (even tolerating - albeit grudgingly - criticism of himself ). Shawcross also contends that the pressure to remove Evans from the Times had less to do with Murdoch, who initially was supportive of his editor, and more to do with the journalists' dislike of Evans' style (ibid.: 245-54).
