Thugs of the World

I obviously never had a very good opinion of Rupert Murdoch’s role in US and UK affairs. But I never expected to see the kinds of things now coming to light as the phone-hacking scandal metastasizes — hacking Gordon Brown and the Queen, bribing the police, hiring investigators to dig up dirt on the people investigating the hacking, and on and on.

At this point it’s starting to look as if News Corp is better viewed as a criminal enterprise than as a media organization.

1. Fox News is a criminal organization.

Blatantly and seditiously spreading lies and propaganda with the purpose to destroy democracy in the U.S.

7. Can someone help answer this question?

Does Rupert Murdoch has the same corrosive effect on the politics of his native Australia as he does in the UK ans US?

How has Australia avoided his divisiveness on politics or has he successfully brainwashed the whole of Australia to subservience?
