I urge any journalists opposed to this takeover to organize a walkout if indeed he tries to have them skew the news in his favor. Why let him bring down respectable journalists with a respectable paper?

I still wonder how this man got his US Citizenship.  I’ll bet he didn’t go to the back of the line.  Even if his ownership of so many news outlets is legal, is it really the spirit of that law.  Shouldn’t citizenship be denied to someone whose sole objective is to control the news outlet of this country. Like Cheney and Bush, this old man will never be satisfied with his control and wealth.  What a waste…...

Goes with the financial difficulties of the times we are in, uhh. Now he’ll be able to “condition” the news on interest rates, the dollar and the illusory M3 “money supply” of the Fed while they continue to print currency as fast as they want to:-

For decades, the Federal Reserve has published data on the money supply, and for many years the Fed set targets for money supply growth.
In the past two decades, a number of developments have broken down the relationship between money supply growth and the performance of the U.S. economy.
In July 2000, the Federal Reserve announced that it was no longer setting target ranges for money supply growth.
In March 2006, the Board of Governors ceased publishing the M3 monetary aggregate…. http://www.ny.frb.org/aboutthefed/fedpoint/fed49.html

...when one thinks about support in a market it usually means the last place where there was significant buying pressure as in “the stock market pulled back and I bought at support.” But the support .....is of a more stealthy nature -one that isn’t so readily apparent on the price chart, and that is the M3 money supply…... the in-appropriateness of the actions of the Federal Reserve or the future ramifications to our financial health of a hyper inflating broad money supply…... have been well documented elsewhere. This is about how trends in the M3 money supply affect trends in the stock market. “Holy Bubble, Batman - I thought the Fed didn’t manipulate the markets!!!” http://www.gold-eagle.com/editorials_04/lerner052304.html

* M3 includes M2 components, plus institutional money market mutual funds, large-denomination time deposits, repo agreements on U.S. government and federal agency securities, and Eurodollars held by U.S. addressees overseas.

Well now along with New York Post there will be another paper to wrap fish in and put on the bottom of bird cages.If anyone thinks that Murdoch will be a hands off owner and that his opinions will not permeate the editorial pages please let me know whatever it is you are smoking or drinking because it is better than anything I know.
