Murdoch versus Murdoch: Geldof "healthy"

We love the way that the various parts of Rupert Mudoch's empire seem to spend more time knocking each other down than generating light on new stories. For example, this morning's four handed Sun story about Peaches Geldof's near-death experience gets ridiculed by Sky News' Showbiz website:

There's a flood of drama around Peaches Geldof.

Or, erm, is there?

The Sun claims she stopped breathing after a suspected overdose at her flat on Sunday evening.

Now, we spoke to and saw Peaches last night on the red carpet at the Batman premiere, and she looked fine and dandy, so we're not quite sure what to make of all of this.
[...]
Neither Peaches nor Sir Bob's people have confirmed or commented on the above but having chatted to Peaches last night we can assure you she was looking healthy and well.

Is that one Murdoch property telling us to not believe a word of the big scoop of another Murdoch property?

Clearly, we'll have to wait until the Wall Street Journal tells us which way to call this one.
