Murdoch Buys Another TrophyPosted on Apr 22, 2008
Rupert Murdoch just can’t get enough of the New York newspaper scene. The News Corp. mogul, already in possession of the New York Post and The Wall Street Journal, has worked out a deal to buy Newsday for about half a billion dollars. That paper is currently owned by another salty media tyrant, Sam Zell.

What’s the difference between what passes for news and propaganda in the global nation of humanity these days? It depends on who owns them and what that person(s) say it is. That is to say, don’t expect any modicum of truth to not be influenced by self need.
Report thisWhen does the need for more power, more control become satiated for this person? Until then, don’t expect anything he touches to have a bit of unvarnished truth. They become extensions of his mouth, or other orifices.
That a person could become so enamored of their own flatulence or gas bubbles in their brain speaks to the human condition and needs our sympathy.

Wendi Deng, the young Chinese second wife of Rupert Murdoch must be deeply ashamed since the media mashup of China’s reputation in the West by the Murdoch mogul and CNN in particular and especially with regard to the deliberately dishonest false reporting that went with the Richard Gere interview about the riots in Lhasa http://dengwendi.com/

I guess the anti-trust law, like democracy, is ancient history in the U$$A.
Does anyone realistically expect to be informed by our media. The Fourth Estate desends to yet another new low.

Murdoch thinks he’s more powerful than most governments. Most of the businesses he buys own and/or operate printing presses. He never seems to run out of money, there seems to be no price he cannot or will not pay for whatever he wants.
Has any one put all this together and suspected he may be printing his own money, just as the US Treasury does when the government overspends, just generally f**ks-up, or wants a war it can’t afford?
