1. His empire should be broken up and handed out to various entrepreneurs

and small businesses. Then pass legislation banning any one person from ever owning that much media.

3. Should not the list of those to be tried for treason be long enough to fill a book
of considerable length? :P

10. Now that Scotty has stated publicly that the Bush regime
sent their talking points to the highest level of FOX to be spread as news, Murdoch is clearly guilty of using the public airwaves to spread government propaganda. Of course Bushco should be sent to the Hague.

8. He's not a citizen, thus can't commit treason.
Now pure asshattery is a different matter.

18. Julius Streicher...
