		Kelvin Calder MacKenzie (born October 22, 1946) is a media figure in the United Kingdom, and a longtime close associate of international media magnate Rupert Murdoch.
		MacKenzie is best known for his time as editor of The Sun newspaper from 1981 to 1993 and is remembered as the man responsible for the paper's highly controversial and wildly inaccurate coverage of the Hillsborough disaster.
		MacKenzie was criticised for his May 4, 1982 front-page headline, "Gotcha!" The story detailed the sinking of the Argentine ship General Belgrano, sunk by a Royal Navy nuclear submarine during the Falklands War.

		Kelvin MacKenzie is all set to front a C5 programme on libel, and with thirteen years experience as editor of The Sun, he has to be an expert.
		MacKenzie is also a Libran (October 22 1946), associated with the symbol of the Scales of Justice, and all Librans profess themselves to be believers in fair play - and fair comment.
		Something MacKenzie might like to bear in mind is that the Roman orator, Cicero, had this same Mercury-Mars line-up, but the damages for libel and slander were rather more punitive then.

		He is explaining why he had to sack Anna Raeburn when he bought Talk Radio two and a half years ago - he knew she was a good presenter but, as a bloke, he couldn't bear to listen to her.
		Then there was the merry prank when TalkSport was banned from covering Euro 2000, and Kelvin sent a couple of commentators (and a lawyer) to cover it from the telly in an Amsterdam hotel room - they could have done it in London but he felt it 'added flavour' if they did it from Amsterdam.
		Kelvin once said 'I would die if I stopped being a journalist' so he must be feeling pretty moribund by now.

		Mr MacKenzie, who is being financed by the private equity group Veronis Suhler Stevenson, has been given until 21 March to conduct due diligence and have a fully funded offer on the table.
		One radio executive said a rival predator "may already be sniffing around", which is why Mr MacKenzie's side was so keen to imply that the deal was already agreed.

		Within a few minutes, he is also attacking the Conservative Party chairman Francis Maude ("makes you want to buy a short piece of rope"), the "absolutely bloody mad" Independent, with which he has severed links after it let the BBC respond to one of his articles, and Goldman Sachs, advisers for the Wireless Group's sale.
		MacKenzie may now be the corporate multimillionaire - but red-top Kelvin is never far away.
