Does anyone else feel a sense of schadenfreude watching Rupert's empire crumble before our very eyes?

and idiot Americans electing Raygun, twice even. I hope it collapses, but unless proper legislation is enacted and people remain ignorant, this situation will arise again and again.

You bet I'll be watching. Pushing, too, if I can get some leverage.

4. This is the greatest thing that could happen to us liberals. |

We were never going to outpace The Rupert's evil empire of quasi-journalism with a Rightwing slant on EVERYTHING. Who knows how far this rabbithole leads...GWB had a real HARD ON for illegally wiretapping Americans over the years and you can DAM WELL BE GUARANTEED that if he had anyone do it, The Rupert was his right hand man and a left nut down from Dick Cheney.
It all MUST go...every stinking last shred of shitevil sauce must be prosecuted and jailed in accordance with that respected nations laws imo.

5. I want to be a bigger person than that! |
|
Alas, I am not. Enjoying it greatly. Almost as much as I enjoy Dick Cheney's congestive heart failure. Let me tell you, that one actually gives me guilty feelings.

7. In the words of a very wise friend of mine.... |
|
"Most wounds are self-inflicted."
I will not delight in Mr. Murdoch's problems, nor will I feel any sense of sorrow. Whatever happened he brought this on himself, either directly or indirectly through his hubris.

8. I don't think Murdoch's empire is crumbling... |
|
Call me cynical but Murdoch gets out of this with nothing but fines & one less news paper...The Deal with BSkyB will just be delayed.
Would love to hear why I am wrong as I think some are getting way too excited way too early!

10. Grudgingly agree -- Rupert has made a big show of amputating |
|
the gangrenous limb (NOTW) to save the patient (the Murdoch empire), and USAnian media will all pretend that the Atlantic Ocean is some sort of Magic Barrier that has kept any sort of Murdochian corruption from infiltrating here.
I don't expect any whistleblower on this side of the Atlantic to say a word -- the consequences would no doubt be Hoare-able.

13. I agree...LOL! It took me a minute to realize... |
|
what the "Hoare-able" was suppose to mean...Of course I understood what your overall message meant but I knew it had deeper meaning & it looked kinda familiar but I just went on reading more news...Then I saw the name again in the most recent report on the "suicide" & I smiled because it hit me!
Yes, I do not think Murdoch will get more than some fines & he will be right back to controlling basically the Western World.

12. I've been away for a couple of days. Can you please tell me what you mean by crumble? |
|
If I tune to Fox, not just fox news but all FOX, will I see snow? Is the Wall St. Journal no longer in business?
