the most useless posts that these boards have ever seen. YOu girl are clearly one of those 24%er's, an ignorant Southern bigot so full of dissinformation and hate for America, that your nose is brown. Get a life girly, and a brain!

Murdoch needs to purchase one of the three big corrupt liberal news networks. (CBS,NBC, or ABC.

I vote that he purchases CBS (Corrupt Broadcasting Station) and implement ASAP "affirmative action" programs to include NOT EXCLUDE "moderates" and "conservatives".

CBS (Crush Bush Station) needs a diverse "staff" in the worse way and it doesn't appear that Rick Kaplan is interested in a "diverse staff" since he is close pals with the Clintons, having slept at the White House twice. The last time in April 2000.

It must make Hillary Rotten-Clinton happy to know that Rick is "heading up" the CBS News division............ but it's really a "gross conflict of interest" that exists at other corrupt liberal news outlets.

"rest assure, the likes of john kerry would try to legislate a new bill to ban "freedom of expression and speech" just to even out the odds."--Posted by xzavierbrown

The "likes of John Kerry" make the likes of your leaders, the coward George W. Bush and the menacing sociopath Dicky Cheney, look like a turdpile. No blossoms on it either.

And the *** News channel and their new Christo-fascist owner can be counted on to rival Pravda as a source of disinformation.

Clearly that might appeal to someone named "Xavier"

WSJ is a lying rag that leads to excessive greed and chaos. What is the big deal. The rag that encouraged the buyout boom and destruction and offshoring of American industry is now getting the same treatment - look how they cry and complain. I expect to see the very reporters for that garbage to be asking for sympathy when they lose their jobs to a leveraged takeover, the same pathetic and uncapitalist financial technique that is ruining America and the WSJ was chief propaganda rag and cheerleader. Spit on the suckers in the streets. Hope some of them commit suicide.

Wait until the investment bankers start getting laid off, the inevitable conclusion of this cycle of destrcutive greed, and those sick pigs will be squealing too. Hope those WSJ reporters really, really suffer. I'll have a good laugh.

If Faux News is any example, this will be bad for the competitiveness of American Business. The WSJ will begin telling them just what they want to hear, rather than what they need to hear to stay in touch with the greater world.

[pepperp1]

Will not buy it, will not rely on it, puff now.

Just what we need; Mr. "Fair and Balanced" running the business news.

Have the Dow Jones people lost their minds?

rest assure, the likes of john kerry would try to legislate a new bill to ban "freedom of expression and speech" just to even out the odds.

the liberals will save you even if it means killing you.

Most liberal news sources are just there for the 'quick buck'. Trying to pass information using jokes, cartoons, etc. etc. Its the inability to see 5 steps ahead of them. The cause and effect..just focused on whinning.
here is the biggest whine in history to date...
they hate the war on oil, they hate religion, they hate corporations BUT they HAVE NO PROBLEM PUMPING THAT OIL..THEY DONT HAVE A PROBLEM BEDDING WITH ISLAM AND THEY DONT HAVE A PROBLEM CASHING THAT PAYCHECK..

[jarnod1]

Murdoch's pending purchase of the Wall Street Journal means were are officially living in Bif's World (from Back to the Future) where manipulation and greed will rule.

On the bright side, bloomberg.com will get a lot more web traffic now that the WSJ has been thrown into the gutter.

what would help is getting more liberal media sources that are more credible and with more intellectual substance. Instead of putting your bet on Al Franken and all those no-talent people.

yes they do get yout attention long enough to make money then its all down hill from there, the attention span of a liberal is pretty much like a house fly.

[irishmail42]

Now that Murdoch's taking over The Wall Street Journal, I wonder how long it will be before The Journal's reporters start showing up on FOX NEWS as "talking heads?"

[king77shaw]

more neo-con Zionist extremism coming to you via Rupert Murdoch - stop buying the WSJ and cancel your cable subscription - dis-empower the media elite by refusing to buy their propaganda...

[searingtruth]

Well, I'm not too concerned about Murdoch.

And here's why.

Of course he's lying about not trying to influence the Journal, just as he's always lied in the past when he promised he wouldn't try to interfere with the other media organizations he's turned into simple propaganda outlets for Dictator Bush.

But here's the catch, and it's one that no amount of money can change.

Nobody takes his newspapers or television stations seriously.

The Wall Street Journal will, almost instantly, become a sad joke, just like "FOX News". Very few will read it, and no one will believe it. Except of course for those who have already rejected our Constitution and embraced fascism, who are lost to America anyway.

So it is indeed a sad day for the Journal, but their stockholders decided to trade credibility and honesty for a few extra coins. It was their choice, and now they get to live with the consequences.

Yes indeed, the Wall Street Journal will soon become just as respected and credible as "FOX News".

Yikes!!!

greybeardvet - actually many who rely on WSJ for financial news have been clear about their dual pesonality of the WSJ news articles and their editorials - their financial news has not once been questioned - that will change with Murdoch taking over - he's influenced every single news media he's ever owned - no reason to believe him when he says he'll be different now.

[nyckate]

perception5 - Good Lord hon - these are owned by COMPANIES - are you SUCH a moron that you think large corporate conglomorates are liberals?? LOL - stop being SUCH a dope!

It is fact that Faux Follies covered Iraq 2/3 LESS than any other news agency. It is also fact that it's coverage is slanted, biased and filled with factoids not facts.

As Bush's ratings plummeted so did Faux' -- because those who used to get their news from Faux learned that Murdoch was filling them with ***** not news.

[nyckate]

Well, there goes the neighborhood in Financial Area!!

Let's face it - Murdoch for all his promises will of course be gearing the articles to get what he wants - the financial news from WSJ will no longer be reliable - his Faux Follies regularily spins and slant political and even financial news - so of course he will do it with WSJ. WHo's going to be able to read an article on an investment there now without wondering if its been slanted or even falsified or filled with factoids instead of facts or if facts have been omitted on purpose?

It's a terrible shame to see such a great paper be flushed down the toilet.

[ki8911]

Perception5, question: if you believe that CBS News is such a liberal, anti-Amercian media, why is it I see your comments all over the place? Every day? If CBS is so offensive, why don't you stick to media formats that are more in tune with your "perception" of the world.

[greybeardvet]

Not sure this transfer of power will make any difference to anyone except the immediate staff. After all, Murdoch's right-wing philosophy can't be any worse than that expressed daily on the Journal's editorial page.

[talkingham]

Might as well replace the Stars and Stripes with the stars and bars of Australia since he owns that country too.

If they were as liberal as your little mind would like to think they are, we wouldn't be suffering through a second term of Bush.

If the "liberal" media had done its job in 2000, we wouldn't have had a Bush first term either.

The "liberal" media, as you call it, has been very kind to Bush and his war-mongering cronies.
