The most prestigious award in television journalism is the Edward R. Murrow Award. Fox News has never even been nominated. Go figure.

Just because your voice reaches halfway around the world doesn't mean you are wiser than when it reached only to the end of the bar".
Edward R. Murrow

But FOX is such a fair and balanced organization! Murdoch is surely of top quality and integrity! Why should the libruls be going after such a decent man?

And quality stories! Like:

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/08/17/college-students-in-favor-wealth-distribution-are-asked-to-support-grade/

Written while overlooking real issues like:

And politicians that get taxpayer money in return for offshoring jobs...

Yet FOX hones in only on a wedge issue (asking students to give others "A"s), ironically not noticing how wealth redistribution (companies demanding people who spent tens of thousands to get educated to train their own replacements, amongst other directly parallel issues.)

Murdoch is a weasel. He probably condoned Nixon's wiretapping too.

Does this mean that Fake News might become a real news channel?

Waiting for that to happen is like leaving the runway lights on for Amelia Earhart.

I doubt it omni. Better chance that Bill "the Gasbag" O'Reilly would become less arrogant, less of a know-it-all, and actually have a show that is either fair or balanced.

If he really wants to avoid responsibility, he should take a page from the Romney playbook and retroactively retire to a date before the whole phone hacking scandal took place.

This is not enough, Rupert Murdoch needs to be removed from all influence in the world of news.

I only WISH that would be enough to solve the problem. Sadly, Rupert's manipulative, dumbing-down approach to "infotainment" seems to have poisoned the well, even at companies he doesn't control....

marychgo -

Agreed.

Yeah Mary and Fox is a prime example of what you are talking about. The words "Fox" and "News" should never be juxtapositioned. Instead it should be called "Fox Entertainment for Rightwing Obama Bashing Rednecks".

"News International sought to play down the significance of the resignations, saying in a statement that "this is nothing more than a corporate housecleaning exercise prior to the company split."

This should have been the lead sentence to this article. The "housecleaning exercise" will ultimately be the demise of this entire conglomerate which is long overdue.

Poor little Merdie-Wierdie! Why can't they leave that poor, shrunken wad of dog meat alone so he can continue his hobby of turning America's moron population into Republican voting zombies?

He was probably hoping that his resignation would go "under the radar" due to the mass coverage of the Aurora Massacre.

Looks like it worked.
