  Trevor Kavanagh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trevor Kavanagh (born 1943) is a journalist and formerly the Political Editor of the Sun newspaper.
Kavanagh is a strong supporter of Israel and his newspaper "has consistently editorialized in favor of (the iraq) war" [1].
In January 2004, Kavanagh claimed another huge scoop, an unnamed source telephoned Kavanagh with details of the Hutton Inquiry the night before it was officially published.

 Observer | Clever Trevor rules roost
Kavanagh was raised in a Labour-supporting, working class family and, after working for British regional newspapers, moved to Australia and rose to become political correspondent at Murdoch's Sydney Daily Mirror.
Kavanagh covered the Winter of Discontent as the Sun's industrial correspondent and reported on Margaret Thatcher's battle with the unions, crossing the picket lines himself when Murdoch moved his titles to Wapping.
Kavanagh must hope that Murdoch's recent hints about swinging his papers behind the Tories prove to be more than mischief-making.

 Politics | I was groomed by Trevor Kavanagh
Following in the footsteps of the Sun's smooth-talking and sagacious political editor, Trevor Kavanagh, is not perhaps the most enviable of prospects.
Kavanagh has prowled the corridors of Westminster for more than two decades, representing Britain's best-selling red-top daily with gravitas and the sure diplomatic touch of a whiskered elder statesman.
Another thing he has picked up from Kavanagh is how to cope with "the responsibility that comes with the power of the paper" and its 10 million readers.

 Why the Sun's wavering from Guardian Unlimited: Election 2005
It would seem that the Sun’s mighty political editor Trevor Kavanagh has sniffed a change in the public mood, and is inclined to give the Conservatives a greater crack of the Sun’s whip.
Trevor Kavanagh doesn't seem to me to be either a traditional Labour voter or one of the New Labour ilk.

Trevor Kavanagh then ensured that the leak was the top story on the nightly news, rather than the content of the Standard's story.
Alastair Campbell was quite happy to deny publicly that he had been Trevor Kavanagh's source for the inside scoop on the Hutton Report.

 Blair cleared by Hutton - report   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The Sun tabloid said on Wednesday the BBC, which had asserted in a report that Blair's government "sexed up" intelligence about Iraqi weapons to make its case for war last year, was accused of being "at fault" over a story that should have been checked more closely.
The Sun, a leading newspaper in Rupert Murdoch's global media empire, has consistently accused the BBC of being the prime culprit in the events leading to the death of government scientist Kelly, outed as the source for the bombshell report.
The Sun's Kavanagh said, however, he had received details of the report's conclusion from a good source and insisted "there was no axe to grind".

So anyway, Campbell invited himself to the office of Kavanagh's boss, a man called … can't remember but it may come to me. But this Boss, the editor I assume it must have been, was not as easily intimidated as Campbell would have liked.
Because, as soon as Campbell started in on his usual effing and blinding and threatening and carrying on, the Boss pressed a button on his desk, which had the effect of broadcasting all this Campbellising all over the Sun offices.

"Blair left weaker by mess" was the headline over a column by Trevor Kavanagh, political editor of The Sun tabloid.
Kavanagh wrote that Milburn's new role was ill-defined and none too powerful, saying the prime minister appeared "hesitant, wavering and weak" and "Gordon Brown is strengthened, not diminished."

However, it was claimed last night that the president acceded to a request from the Sun for an interview after the intervention of Tony Blair.

We presume Kavanagh merely cut and pasted his own text from 2002-2003 replacing 'Iraq' with 'Iran' and 'Saddam Hussein' with 'the mullahs'.
It is Kavanagh's job to learn nothing from the immediate past, to affect wide-eyed naivety even as he pushes a pitiless, realpolitik version of the world on his readers.

 DeadBrain - Sun's Hutton leak accurate and unbiased - shock
There is widespread shock in semi-literate and pornography-loving circles this afternoon after Lord Hutton's report into the death of Dr David Kelly appeared to tally completely with the Sun's version of events this morning.
The alleged newspaper obtained quotes from the report before it was published, suggesting either psychic abilities on the part of Trevor Kavanagh or a leak from one of the parties who received a copy of the report in advance.
Lord Hutton is now considering legal action against the Sun, while Tony Blair's official spokesman said that he was "very angry" about being cleared of acting in an underhand way.
