The Murdoch story is sublimely illustrative of our time.


It touches on all the major issues of our time - bought government, psyops media, PRIVACY, criminality at the tippy-top of these pillars of selfregulating capitalism, self-dealing by "trusted" officials, foreign influence in national elections, the selling of the wars (trust me, it'll come up), corrupt/able gov't from the PM to the coppers...and a massive coverup (this frikkin story broke in 2007 !!!) by all of the above.

4. Have to say it really gives me some hope
Today's "journalism" has not only deteriorated, but gotten out of control thanks to the likes of Murdoch.
