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.

Murdoch--although Australian, judging from his name has Scottish ancestry.

So that proves it--it's the White Anglo Saxon Protestants who cause all the trouble! Not Jews. Christians. And their Muslim soul-brothers.

Muslims and Christians have a lot in common--both religions have pesky flocks of sky pilots who go around telling everybody else what to do and what to believe. A pox on them all--and on Rupert Murdoch.

So where are all the blubbering righties about how the left controls the MSM?

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.

According to king77shaw, there will be "more neo-con Zionist extremism coming to you via Rupert Murdoch".

In the first place, Rupert Murdoch isn't a Jew, although he's often misrepresented as one and, in any case, as everybody knows...

...the news industry is controlled by liberal, commie, pinko, Trotskyite, Marxist-Leninist, left-wing Jews with a pro-gay, pro-abortion agenda...

...so king77shaw cannot be right.

No, wait a minute, everybody knows that America is under the control of...

...right-wing, crypto-Nazi, Fascist, Zionist, neo-con, land-stealing, international-banking, capitalist, market-controlling, money-grabbing, hook-nosed Jews who all think alike.

Furthermore, Rupert Murdoch really is a Jew who lies about his ancestry.

So, we should all pay attention to what king77shaw has to say.

I'M SO CONFUSED!!!!!!

Re: "stop buying the WSJ and cancel your cable subscription - dis-empower the media elite by refusing to buy their propaganda... "

I am just as concerned as you. I have a hard time purchasing the WSJ because its Editorial page is distorted. OK if it was just right wing, but right-wing with bogus data, distortions, and in some cases lies. I am a subscriber now because I am getting a mid-life MBA and may keep my subscription IF the rest of the paper stays as factual and balanced as it is.

But, if Murdoch buys the WSJ I don't see any way it won't become polluted like Faux Spews and the other Mainstream Corporate Industrial Media Complex members (yep - even CBS).

Funny thing is Murdoch won't help the WSJ. I have heard business professionals my age and especially a little younger - that already don't subscribe because of its fascist editorial page. Murdoch is only going to make this situation worse...

Prepare for a once well regarded newspaper to head for the fish-wrap level.

I was thinking along the lines of bird cage liner, but it's all the same level.

"The Bancroft family has been deeply divided over whether to sell to Murdoch, largely over concerns that his management style could affect the papers' coverage. "

While the WFJ editorials are already approaching the depths of fascistic neocondom, the news articles have some authenticity. Once Murdoch takes over, all we'll get the Aussie BS. Prepare for a once well regarded newspaper to head for the fish-wrap level.
