Firefox users: Murdoch Alert lets you know when you are visiting a Murdoch owned site..
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/MurdochAlert-details/

NewsCorp agents in multiple countries have been arrested for hacking into the phones and computers of at least thousands of innocent people. Since the Murdoch family controls 100+ high-traffic domains, it is difficult for average users to know which sites could potentially place them at risk.

MurdochAlert identifies the domains that may place users at risk for Murdoch-related hacking. MurdochAlert shows a bottom warning box whenever you visit a Murdoch-controlled sited.

3. I wouldn't install it as it has not been
reviewed by Mozilla. Mozilla gives a warning: Be careful when installing third-party software that might harm your computer.

I don't really need it, but I can see how it would be useful for people that read through a bunch of news sites.

I'm pretty sure Murdoch doesn't own the ones I read (DU, Pandagon, Rude Pundit, You Are Dumb, or ThinkProgress, etc) unless he's really gotten into diversifying lately.
