Sold their souls. What, exactly, does that mean? What, exactly, are you talking about? Which agreements, which policies, etc; what exactly was the details of this Faustian pact? But yes, winning support of influential media publications is important.  
 

I’ve heard this ‘pressure on the government about policies’ thing. Firstly, which policies? Also, in what way will it impact a Johnson-led Tory majority? The reality is we will likely have a Tory government with Tory policies. Again. 

 

A few people have already answered the first part of this. Just to add that yes it's important to have influential media publications, that's what Labour have now with Momentum, but If Blair hadn't have sided with Murdoch, and had rained them in a bit, then this would have made Brexit less likely. 

 

As for pressure on the government about policies, only yesterday Johnson had to backtrack on putting corporation tax down to save money for the NHS, yet Tories always say that putting corporation tax down actually brings in more money. 

 

Also in April this year the Government had to bring the maximum stake from £100 a spin to £2 on FOBT'S in betting shops.

This bit is pointless. Asking Fake News Swinson what she'll do if she becomes PM. 

 

It's like asking me what position I'd play Mo Salah in to accommodate the signing of Messi when I become Liverpool manager. 

Its like asking SD a straight question.
