May the decent people of the world soon be rid of the demagogues, bullies, and deceivers like Murdoch and Limbaugh that currently dominate the public's airwaves.
if it wasn't for Rupert Murdoch, we wouldn't have Fox. without Fox, we wouldn't have "House, MD." without "House, MD," Hugh Laurie wouldn't have become fabulously wealthy and famous (in America, anyway).
(nb: i like "House, MD" and Hugh Laurie and i despise Rupert Murdoch. but even i can see the ironies here.)
Rupert Murdoch actually brought about the vision of the "Blue Meanies" Britain from the Yellow Submarine crtoon ...as much as I hate to admit it , the Beatles had a point (and I`m not just talking about Ringo`s head...)
I hope these Murdochs have had their wings clipped permanently. It is frightening to learn of the sway they held -especially Rupert - over the elected politicians of our nation.
It doesn't matter at all if regular people are spied on, bullied by police, radiated or humiliated at airports, but murdoch phuct with elites so it is front page news. I love that they were hacked for a change. I'd like to know what dirt he got on them.
Murdoch will figure prominently in any discussion about the decline of western civilisation, and the rise of corporate fascism. He has at least shown us how vulnerable an open society can be without the due vigilance of its people. We allowed this parasite to sap the strength of our news organisations that once helped protect us, using them to subvert and manipulate public opinion, and further corrupt our public institutions.
@auitane corporate fascism - the merger of corporations and government wherein corporate interests dominate. Interestingly, I looked up the definition of corporate fascism last year and found many citations, but Google can't seem to find one today....
@greyareaRK1 i had a chat with this dumb girl who works in a xerox room, i said something similar about murdoch and she said how dare i say anything about 'my sun' - the woman is stupid like most of the morons in the UK, they are so thick if you threatened to throttle them with a rolled up sun newspaper - they would still buy it - dumb fuckers, dumb country.
@gamerunknown to describe Sun readers as thick is not to generalise, it is to make the most profound and accurate statement in history. Devoting the third page of a national newspaper to a woman's breasts is thick. Buying a newspaper which shows a pair of tits on page 3 is totally thick.
You wrote "dumb fuckers, dumb country" and "most of the morons in the UK": that's a very hasty generalisation considering the Sun has a peak daily readership of 11% of the country (7m readers). In fact, your youtube profile says you're from Germany, the country where "Bild" is published and which prominently features breasts on its front page on the wikipedia splash. I don't think it's a national problem, I think its an international problem resolved by education.
@gamerunknown I am not German, I am not from Germany, that's the German bashing out of the way. Yes, the 7m fuckwits who read The Sun everyday are dumb fucks, no doubt about it. Germany is the powerhouse of the European economy, we - I am a Brit - can learn from them.
Well, what criterion are you using? Bild's average circulation surpasses that of the Sun (6th largest circulation in the world, largest in Europe), meaning there's a greater amount of German reading "dumb fucks" than English reading "dumb fucks", to borrow your phrase. The Nordic countries, especially Norway due to its oil reserves frequently top Germany, so it's not purely an economic decision. Based on your rabid nationalism, I'd assume you were a tabloid reader...
@gamerunknown rabid nationalism, when it comes to hating an Australian-American bastard who owns most of my country's media and controls my elected politician through intimidation, blackmail and bribery - I am the most rabid nationalist ever.
All the American and British soldiers and innocent civilians (they weren't all "guilty" and don't forget Iraqi babies that have died) that wouldn't have died in Iraq if Murdoch and the other corporations hadn't compliantly spewed propaganda before the Iraq war, coercing the public to believe the damned lies.
I wouldn't wish death on anyone, but he's not a pleasant man. There are many other, albeit less successful, Rupert Murdoch's behind most of our media outlets today. He's an obvious face to blame, especially in light of recent events, but we should heed them as a warning against many institutional malpractices, not just assume it's localised to the Murdoch Empire, or even just to the media.
Great ending! Wish it had happened! No Fox...no Bush...no 9/11...no Iraq...no huge deficit...no revoking of all of Clinton's environmental initiatives, actual green innovations...OUCH!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Rupert Murdoch is not the worst person in the world, for crying out loud. You mean to tell me you believe other news outlets don't manipulate the news? Naive and ignorant then. Also, hacking phones is not the worst thing on the planet, sheesh. Fox News in the states is refreshing after watching CBS and NBC and all the boring and similar programing.
All we now need is a Roger Ailes version replacing the now departed but "sainted" Ruppert Murduche. "Well shake me twice" if the Fox "news" honcho Roger Ailes doesn't have a "brain room" over at Fox "News" headqtrs built in the 90's as an adjunct to Dick Cheney's efforts (while at Halliburton) to hack the phones of every politician Dem & Ray-pub alike in preparation for his coronation as the de facto President who chose that Bush fella to lose the popular vote & front for him for 8 yrs
If Rupert Murdoch wasn't born, Al Gore would have been president of the USA. America would have been in and out of Middle East quickly. And, there would be no recession.
@maillort It's almost sickening to realize how different the world would be without one or two of these assholes changing world events by just pushing things past the tipping point for people.
Still, a different man instead of Murdoch would have eventually done it. It's human nature to be greedy and accumulate wealth and power, and it's human nature for the masses of stupidity to believe what the media tells them to.
Makes me laugh. People would get on if he wasn't around making people hate each other.... but then what is the aim of sketch if not to make people further resent R Murdoch?
Awesome I've been watching Fry and Laurie on netflix this past month. haven't got to this point yet. Wonder if its season 3 or 4. looking foward to watching the whole episode
I think R Murdoch's empire is serious dangerous. But I don't think this does a good job of slating him.
He wants to be rich? So, do most people. He introduced 'tits'. Well lets face it, he didn't introduce the concept of 'sex selling' papers or mags did he?
So his papers are right wing? Well I thought that was the idea of pluarity of the press, you have some left wing media (Guardian, BBC etc) some right (Times, Daily Mail etc)
They should have focused on his empire under mining pluarity.
@CHANNELOMD I find it amazing that today anyone who did business with Murdoch is being told again and again they can't speak up, very disturbing, the guy it an utter sickness
@jryan6969 Anyone else catch the irony that Fry seems to have become the establishment apologist of choice. Recent BP/Haliburton TV puff piece of an 'enquiry' he made into the gulf oil 'spill'.
@mutatron To save public image. The paper had become a national embarrassment so they had to go, before the corporation's reputation got any worse (hard to conceive though that possibility is...).
And still, lets face it, it is also us, who support him and his doing with our money, our lazyness and our ignorance. Wouldn't we shy away to take closer looks, he wouldn't have the power that he has.
Of course I know that this clip was made way before "House". I just think its funny that Laurie is technically working for this man now. No need to be so mean... :(
It is sickening what this beast Murdoch has done to the Fourth Estate and the United States. The US is more divided now as a country than at any time since the Civil War.
I hope our British cousins are more successful and can contain the Anti-Christ.
Rupert Murdoch - America's #1 illegal immigrant, he should be deported or tried for TREASON and SEDITION. What a miserable life he has had, foisting his seething resentment on decent people. If only more people knew he made his fortune by putting naked women in his newspapers, he hasnt changed a bit.
Magnificent Piss-Take of "Its a Wonderful Life" and unlike George (whom the world would miss dearly ) we would all be "Punching the Air" if this Arse Hole had never been born. Bloody Hillarious Post.
@archeronfoot they don't write Peep Show. You may know this and therefore be basing your comment on their terrible sketch show...not sure which is worse.
@RichardSwayne Well, don't you think, that the last three letters of the surname are, in reality, a most unfortunate mistake? They should have read "er", indeed.
What? I don't see any downside there. No fox news, no family guy... A few seasons of the Simpons would be lost and that'd be a shame I suppose, but ultimately the benefit far outweighs the negative!
Murdoch is a great man tho, its sad that so many liberals don't have the brains for business and spend their days on the net bashing one of the greatest men of our era.
All that and he cancelled Firefly too!

No Family Guy, No The Simpsons.... yeah there is a downside to not having Fox News

Murdoch is a great man tho, its sad that so many liberals don't have the brains for business and spend their days on the net bashing one of the greatest men of our era.

This is delightful for so many reasons, not least the faithful recreation of It's A Wonderful Life (Stephen's American accent!!)
