Neither the Mail nor the Telegraph are owned by Murdoch. The Times and The Sun, which both are, have no sign of it at all on their web front pages.

Whether that's linked with Rebekah Brooks, mentioned below as a possibility, being a close friend of Murdoch, and ex executive of News International, the publishers of the Sun and Times (as was Coulson), who knows?
