its not about incarcerating an old man.

its about informing the people he has lied to for decades that they HAVE, in fact, been lied to.

p.s. whining, hand-wringing and flapping about helplessly probably seems 'logical' to you, but it isn't really helpful to anyone. And following your (non)advice is no way to get shit done.

Whining, hand-wringing and flapping about helplessly is exactly what you are doing.
Like I said, feel free to carry on as much as you want to. IT WON'T CHANGE A THING.
And those chumps that were lied to for decades? Fuck 'em. Fuck anyone who ever bought one of his rags or his satellite dishes. You think they didn't REALISE what sleazebags him and his reporters are?
But yeah, enjoy your little moral crusade while it lasts.

Amazingly
I agree with Stuj. If you don't like it, don't buy it. I went to Australia many years ago, and their terrestrial television showed the level of the populace- point in question:

The stuff I can recall over there on TV was:
Bananas in Pyjamas
Johnson & friends
Neighbours
Aggro on morning TV.
Neighbours.

And that was it, ad infinitum. At least Murdochs bunch put on some decent stuff, as has been shown over here ( not being funny, but Sky Atlantic has some wonderful programmes on at the moment, so much so that my Sky+ is full of stuff from it), and gave the terrestrial TV over there a much needed boot.
I do agree his rags are shit, The Times has even dumbed down now, but you do have a choice- DON'T BUY IT.

not really sure how Bananas in Pyjamas re-runs are as evil as bald-faced lying on network news bulletins, but I also cannot begin defend a media that gave the world Neighbours or Home and away.
So there's that.

Ask yourself though, whose channel was spewing the aggro on morning TV?

haha...wow
You seem personally offended, do you own stock in FoxNews or something?

Why are you so aggrieved that people are *finally* speaking out that you just had to register your pointless point of view?
Do you have anything to contribute here...or...?

btw, NO. I don't think everyone realised how corporate-minded and sleazy Murdoch got because it happened incrementally, while world events were causing the people to look the other way.
