Watching the Wee Little Fox Die................
Listened to a discussion on the financial network, CNBC, with Michael Wolffe (sp.?)----the guy who has investigated Murdoch for years. He said that initially advertisers here in the USA were ignoring the News Corp problems in England. However, in the last few days the advertisers over here are in an outright panic. They are meeting with agencies, asking what the terms of their obligations/contracts are, etc. They do not want Murdoch/News Corp taint on them (i.e., tapping 9/11 victims phones, etc.). Was watching the stock drop as they spoke. No ads/no revenue/no business!!! (Oh, Rupert, you should know all about how "no revenue" means you can't exist long............and here we thought it was the government that was going to get starved to death). God, wouldn't it be beautiful to see all those animals in the fox lair out of work and this nation have that garbage off the air!!!!!

1. I'd like to see Rupert have to stick to things that actually turn a profit
like his FX channel and the Fox entertainment division.

His foray into politics was a predictable disaster. I hope he gets badly burned enough to quit.

and smells even worse.

4. As I was reading your post
my iphone dinged with a CNN breaking news alert - "FBI launches investigation into Rupert Murdoch's News Corp amid 9/11 hacking allegations, a federal source says.."

Yes, Faux may be circling the drain .....

I bet the GOPers are sitting in their own filth right about now - the exposure is happening and they know it will "trickle down" and they too will be exposed.

It is happening very quickly! They cannot spin it; and it appears that our GOP congressmen are being strangely silent about it all for the most part...

It will be a GOOD weekend to get people to sign up to vote :)

Shine On!

6. You can elude karma for a long time
but never forever. Gads it would be fun to watch old Pirate Rupert and his crooked lying empire sink slowly beneath the waves.

7. You think the advertisers are in panic mode
Just imagine how fast the rats in the staff room are jumping.
I'd pay to be a fly on the wall as O'Liely et al scatter.
