2. I wasn't suprised
I heard about this deal months ago when it was put in front of the FCC for consideration. Ol' Rupert Murdock got what he wanted.

4. But he has children
His son helps run another big corporation right now, and I think his daughter is highly placed also. So even if he goes, we will still have to live with the Murdoch mentality.

No I didn't read that hear, I read most of it over at BBC and Guardian websites.

5. This will mean more Kobe and Michael stories in addition
to the right wing propaganda. That is what this administration wants its public to be, dumb and stupid. It makes it easier to fleece them.
