Why Rupert Murdoch Love$ God: World's Biggest Sleaze Mogul Also Getting Rich from Christian Moralizers
In addition to being a phone-hacking Darth Vader, Rupert Murdoch is also one of the leading religion publishers in the world.

Here's what you might not know about Rupert Murdoch: he’s one of the leading religion publishers in the world.

Maybe one day soon Murdoch will go to jail as might his son, as will several of their UK editors if many alleged and disgusting and illegal acts of pirate “journalism” are proved true, ranging from bribing the police to hacking the phones of bereaved family members of killed service men and women and child murder victims. Make no mistake: when it comes to the Murdoch media “empire” we're talking about the lowest form of “journalism” as detailed by the Guardian newspaper.

So are religious moralizers and others writing about religious and/or “moral” themes prepared to enrich the Murdoch “ media juggernaut” forever while Rupert Murdoch further corrupts UK, American and Australian politics while his companies trade in human misery for profit by hacking murder victim's phones, paying off the police, elevating smut to a national sport and even hacking the phones of killed soldiers’ families? 

You bet!

1. He loves Mammon, there's a difference.
I realize a lot of people like to use the right wing and people like Murdoch to bash people of faith. However, some Christians have been against his and users of similar right wing tactics since the beginning

3. I agree
I just wish it were the majority of Christians that felt that way.

4. Murdoch paid Pat Robertson almost $2 billion for PTL Nutwork.
$1.9 billion. One has to give a bit in negotiations to get what one wants.
