Is it just me? Or is everyone else here at DU having a great time watching Rupert Murdoch get his?

[devilgrrl]

You tell me?

:evilgrin:

[Greybnk48]

1. Not just you!!! I'm on the floor rolling and grinding in it

like my dogs do when they find something stinky they love!! LOL!

[Hepburn]

2. See my face...

...see a huge grin and see this as well ---------> :rofl:

KnR for the love of it! :hi:

[myrna minx]

3. It's the best reality show on TV! I'm enjoying each and every new detail.

I never knew how much schadenfreude I was capable of enjoying. :evilgrin:

[NBachers]

4. If he's truly sorry he'll confess to everything, and tell his staff to do likewise

Or is the "sorry" business just another cynical manipulation?

[Jackpine Radical]

9. Sorta like the BP "Apology" for the Gulf:

"We're sorry if you tree-huggers are all freaked out and upset over a little oil. Suck it up, dweebs."

[malaise]

5. I'm freaking lovin' it

:rofl:

[KaryninMiami]

6. Didn't give a hoot about the Casey Anthony trial- but this one I'm gonna watch with joy

Couldn't be happening to a more deserving person. I hope he goes to jail and takes Newscorp down for good. These folks are scum and it's about time the rest of the world- including Fox viewers, knew the truth.

[HopeHoops]

7. Bend over Murdoch - you've got a shaft coming right where it needs to be.

[pipi_k]

8. Well, can't say I'm having a glee-fest over it, but...

OTOH, I'm not shedding any tears for him, either.


He shit in his own bed before he made it. Now he has to sleep in the shit.



C'est la vie... :shrug:

[rucky]

10. Something we can all agree on.

for once

[Fumesucker]

11. The Shaden..

It Freuds itself.

[Walk away]

12. I just wish I could believe the entire company would turn to dust and blow away.

He has so much power he's like a cockroach. Can anything really kill it!

[Kingofalldems]

13. Freepers can't be liking this---Hahahahaha!

[Ship of Fools]

14. This hasn't been just the best news, in my opinion, in a LONG while,

it. is. fucking. awesome.

Even if the oceans rise, fires destroy us, the water wars begin, or a gawd-damned METEOR hits us, at THE VERY LEAST we will have had an opportunity to take back the media before the lights go out.

Karma, I love you.

[Bluenorthwest]

15. Impossible to express how important this is in my opinion

Best news in years. Years.

[MADem]

20. I agree wholeheartedly--and it couldn't happen at a better time, either! NT

[Aerows]

16. I've been on a schadenfreude high...

... since Brooks and Hinton resigned. I'm even enjoying watching their share prices continue to drop. It's delicious.

I watched the House of Commons and the exchange between May and Cooper - that was awesome. Brits seem to have much more robust and in-your-face exchanges in their politics. I wish our political leaders screamed at each other at the podium more often.

This isn't going to turn out well for David Cameron, and if he falls, Murdoch and Brooks, et. al., are finished in the UK because there will be no one to provide cover.

If it comes out that they hacked 9/11 victims in the US, nothing is going to save News Corp. here. There is no amount of money, justifications or influence that would clean that stain. They might be able to still operate, but their reputation would be so tarnished, no one would want to be associated with them. Do you honestly think Walmart and McDonald's would continue blaring Fox in their stores if it comes out their parent company hacked 9/11 victims? Hell no, and neither would anyone else, either, because the PR hit would be too big.

That would be a massive blow to Fox.

[Zorra]

17. What's not to like? Murdoch is one of the greatest enemies

of democracy in history.

A long prison sentence is what he deserves.

[pansypoo53219]

18. LEAVE rupert ALONE!

he's an old evil evil evil man.
now destroy fux gnews.

[FailureToCommunicate]

19. Enjoy this great bit by Hugh Laurie while you're at it....

IF you haven't seen it. Note Laurie's great, heavy Australian accent he gives Rupert Murdoch...

21. I am not seeing much hard, factual proof of the actual crimes.

Mostly, it's just "might have","believed to have". Where are the documents and depositions? That's when I'll enjoy this better. I fear that the numerous investigations that are starting might be for the purpose of covering up.
