i wish the UK the best of luck ridding themselves of this social cancer.
in the USA, these evil people are so powerful, the political cancer may be terminal.
the influence of Murdoch on politics is a greater threat to Western Democracies than Al Qaeda and all the other wars that these criminals want the public to think about.
all my life i've tried not to judge people, but how can anyone have any doubt that everyone involved with this empire is totally evil?

I find it most amusing as well as instructive to read about how badly Murdoch flubbed his China dealings.
Oh and by the way "liberal" or "conservative" has nothing to do with it.
The Political Re-Education of Rupert Murdoch at the Feet of His Chinese Masters
Murdoch first assumed the servile position in 1994, after he heard that the inclusion of the BBC news on Star TV offended the Chinese government. He deleted the channel, Dover writes, but tried to claim that it was a business move. ...Next stop on Murdoch's truckle express was an effort to curry the favor of every blood relative of Deng Xiaoping's he could locate in hopes that a connection to the country's former maximum leader would help...."The level of irritation with Murdoch within the walls of the Chinese leadership compound at Zhongnanhai was palpable, I was later told," Dover writes.
Murdoch’s Dealings in China: It’s Business, and It’s Personal
Many big companies have sought to break into the Chinese market over the past two decades, but few of them have been as ardent and unrelenting as Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation...Mr. Murdoch has flattered Communist Party leaders and done business with their children. His Fox News network helped China’s leading state broadcaster develop a news Web site. He joined hands with the Communist Youth League, a power base in the ruling party, in a risky television venture, his China managers and advisers say. Mr. Murdoch’s third wife, Wendi, is a mainland Chinese who once worked for his Hong Kong-based satellite broadcaster, Star TV. Her role in managing investments and honing elite connections in China has underscored uncertainties...
Murdoch's China Dream Shattered
For more than 10 years, China's potential mesmerised Rupert Murdoch. He poured more than $2 billion into the country and lost at least half of it. He spent lavishly courting the communist mandarins, and cut ethical corners. He even took a young Chinese wife, who bore him two daughters and installed a Mandarin-speaking nanny so they would grow up bicultural. And where did it all get him? Not far, according to Bruce Dover, who served the Murdoch empire in Asia as director of business development when China was Murdoch's big global play.

I get all my news from ats
socyberty.com...
Rupert Murdock has decided to cut his losses and run. His son James has announced that the top selling Murdock tabloid, News Of The World, is to close. Murdock hopes this will take the heat off him – but it won’t.

Murdoch is a scoundrel all right, but I think they all are.
I was trying to be factious.

Anti-Semitism? No. I judge people by their actions, not their affiliation.
I just naturally distrust the big news corps. Even though I still read them from time to time.
There’s always two sides of a story.

I'm alleging he knew what was going on from the start and allowed it to continue.
