In your face Murdoch

[binnie]

Indeed: but I reckon Dirty Desmond is probably just as involved in that regard. Channel 5, The Star, The Express......it's quite a little empire he has, too.

I seem to remember some hoo-hah about Blair allowing him so much ownership back in the late '90s. but I could be wrong....

Des is just a grubby little pornographer, Murdoch has got right into the centre of the establishment here and in the US.

[binnie]

True. But Des controls a lot of the media too.

Maybe I read too much Private Eye.

this guy had an interesting op ed piece in the sydney morning herald this past weekend. it's a fairfax paper, one of the 32% of print media rupert DOESN'T own here. i'd be interested to read what you guys think.
