Comments on: Murdoch, Journal To Set Up Editorial Board

Report: New Panel Will Serve As Editorial Buffer And Have Say In Hiring And Firing Of Top Editors

[CBSTV]

This is very disappointing news. Murdoch's media empire is a scourge upon society. I held out hope that the Bancroft family would do the right thing. But once again, the smell of cash has won out over good.

We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order."
David Rockefeller

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."
David Rockefeller... Baden-Baden, Germany 1991

During the invasion, all 175 newspapers owned by Murdoch reflected his aggressive opinion in favor of the war in their daily editorials. He was even bold enough to explicitly say what was defying for the Bush administration itself to say out loud : that it was all about the oil. "The greatest thing to come out of this for the world economy%u2026would be $20 a barrel for oil%u201D

If this is any indication of his ability to prophisize then the WSJ is doomed.

Murdock (Faux Noise) and Bush can manipulate the minds of the world because of two factors: the short memory of the public and the media's ability to re-direct public attention whenever the need arises.

This is unfortunate. Murdoch already owns or controls more of our media than God.

[tnichlsn]

What kind of moron is still investing in printed news?

[down-ndirty]

I bet you doosh bags would be all over Ted Turner making this purchase. You want to talk about a paper swinging in one direction. Complete one-sided coverage under Turner's watch...editorial control via Jane.

So what's your point? You can talk "IF" all day long. Turner didn't buy it, and "Jane" hasn't been with him for several years now. LOL!!!

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.

Didn't you clowns try this in Germany in the 30's... then again in the 50's. It doesn't work Swastika Breath. You will NEVER stop us form stating our opinions and reading what we want. What is it with you clowns? You have so many Reich Propaganda Rags now why come here an bug us? Why try to control what we hear, see and read? You have been trying to do that since 1776 and have done everything in your power to trash the free press and it just come's back stronger. I mean how many times do you losers have to get your brains kicked in to get the message? Sieg Heil Bush!! Come on you fascit wacko help me out here.. it'll make you feel so much better! SIEG HEIL!! Now be sure to click your boots together... maybe even dig out the KKK Hood! SIEG HEIL!! Now doesn't that make you feel so good? ROFLMAO What an IDIOT!!

I really don't care about this. I don't read it and frankly it is all SPIN. If at all anything, I'll probably wipe my a$$ with it if there is no toilet paper available. Other than that I have no need for it.

This should send the right message to Ruppert Murdoch and the Wall St Journal.

[cdfoxtrot]

The good news is that there won't be a need to make any changes whatsoever among the people who write the editorial page. WSJ editorials are so nuttily right-wing already, Murdoch won't have to do a blessed thing.

[williamfold]

while they're at it, they should go ahead and rename it to The Wall Street Urinal. that would be much more fitting, don't you think?

[jmurrieta1]

"Murdoch says any concerns about corporate meddling in the Journal's news coverage are unwarranted. News Corp. has agreed to create a committee that would have to sign off on any decision to hire or fire top editors at the paper."

Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limpbaugh.

Bye bye WSJ, Hello *** News on Paper--TP that is.

[gunownerdan]

The "DUMBING-DOWN OF AMERICA" is almost complete!!!!!!!

[starleo146]

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.

So why are you on this cbs post you talk out of both sides of your mouth stay away from cbs corruption as you call it we will not miss you

[starleo146]

My,MY, MY, Look what money can do once again. That is what it is all about isn't it? MONEY-MONEY--MONEY
the root of all evil. Now a reputable paper will be turned into a Faux Nooz Propaganda report

[rushlimpdrug]

perception5 -how about you go get a job with murdoch?

[briannorwood]

And how long will it take Rupert to turn "The Wall Street Journal" into "The Wall Street Urinal"?

[zykracosmos]

Anyone who thinks this is good for anybody but Murdoch and really big business is an idiot. This is the biggest event in the history of this country in clinching the power of mega-corporations over the disbursement of information to the American people. As Jefferson said, a democracy is dependent on the education of the masses. We have just seen one more step in the cessation of our representative power to the dictatorial authority of corporations. The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones were always pro-business, but now the whole structure will be ultra-right wing, slanted more than ever towards the biggest multinational corporations and the military industrial complex endorsed by the neocons. You will never be able to believe a word you hear from the mass media again. It is hilarious to see the comments of the propagandized fools in this blog, who have become the unwitting puppets of Murdoch and his manipulators. May we live to see the day when Big Oil, the Pharmaceutical companies, and the neocons' military industries have squeezed the last dollar out of their redneck wallets.

Many top WWII Nazis were sentenced and hung for war crimes and for waging war of aggression, at the Nuremberg trials.

Propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, Rupert Murdoch's equivalent, committed suicide prior to the trials.
