1. It's already gone global. We were overseas a year ago, and
one of the few channels we got was Faux. That was a disappointment.

2. What could be better than total domination of the propaganda in one country?
Domination of propaganda world wide. No one would ever get the truth if one asshole owned all the media.

3. Rupert Murdoch bathes in money daily. He is one of the greediest
pricks on the planet. Greedy pricks will give to charity as a tax write off not because they care about anything. :dem:

4. Murdoch was aiding Chinese setting up satellite/radar stations in Iraq
in early 2001 ... it was a news item when it was revealed that the U.S. bombed these sites, because they may have been "anti-aircraft" stations ...

7. The Indian press is too free and independent right now
It's a problem that obviously needs to be fixed.

Thomas writes that "Christian fundamentalists", like Islamic fundamentalists, "belong to a global umma and harbour real and perhaps imagined...longings directed towards making all of god's people Christian".

Thomas says he himself is a practicing Christian, but that it is time "mainstream churches" begin looking at "Christianity in India and begin going to the media more" to halt what he calls "Karaoke" Christianity.

His concern is delivered in his critique of the media-supported Joshua project, the Christian Broadcasting Network and the evangelism of GOD TV, the 700 Club, Num TV of the Chennai-based organisation Jesus Calls, the Rede Record TV Network belonging to Brazil's Pentecostal movement and such other mass followed sects.

He fears that more and more the "worship experience on a Sunday" is being overtaken by rallies like those organised by Benny Hinn Inc (in the US).

Crusading psychopath Fuckers!!!

Lot of people are aware about the Islamic Terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, but how many are aware about the Christian Terrorism in the North-East India? With the support of Christian Missionaries, terrorist organisations like NLFT and NSCN are spreading terror in parts of North-East India to convert the whole of North-East states to Christianity at gunpoint. NSCN has already succeeded in Nagaland to convert masses to Christianity and asking "Nagaland for Christ" and still fighting for a greater Nagaland called Nagalim, with the adjoining districts of other Indian states. NLFT is in process of having a repeat of NSCN in Tripura.
