Has the Sun’s political editor outed himself as a Tory propagandist?

Dynamite quote via Murdoch’s biographer.

“It is my job to see that Cameron fucking well gets into Downing Street,” proclaimed Tom Newton Dunn, political editor of the Sun, to a group of journalists from rival papers, recently.

Did he really say this? If so, should he not share this revelation with the Sun’s readers? I’m sure they assumed his job was to be the political editor of the Sun, not a self-confessed Tory propagandist.
