All of them. From my recollection:
Australia 1980+ - All of them: Hawke (1983), the last being Rudd (2007).
United Kingdom 1980+ - All of them: Thatcher (Wapping), Blair (1997), Cameron(2009)
United States 1980+ - All excepting Barack Obama, cf. HRC.

| 1. Most British and American leaders to at least some extent |

One correction: Cameron is fortunately NOT our leader yet, though very likely he will be in the coming year, thanks in part to Revolting Rupert.

What I meant is cutting a deal, before taking power, in exchange for Murdoch 'support'.

Rupert Murdock actually sponsored a Hillary 08 fund raiser in NYC in late 07.

By May 2008, Murdoch was saying that if Obama won he would see a lot of newspapers.
