...won't continue spewing an endless stream of obnoxious right wing talking points 24/7 they are sadly mistaken.

This scandal appears, in the short term, to make it harder for NewsCorp to acquire any more media which is good, but it won't put a dent in what they are doing now. Even if Murdoch and his creepy kid were arrested and jailed, this teabagger media would not go away.

And I can't really get excited about this scandal anyway. I am not shocked that tabloids steal hard drives and hack phones - I bet the Enquirer and other garbage media like it do the exact same thing. That it appears to have been institutionalized is troubling, but color me not particularly surprised.

And lastly, the point that right wing media is so profitable and attracts so many viewers/readers has already been made. If Fox News imploded tomorrow, another propaganda network just like it would appear overnight. There is a big market for the crap they peddle, so don't think for a minute media like Fox is going to go away.
