Rupert Murdoch: Those "Online" Who "Rewrite" Journalists' Stories Are Engaging In "Theft"

[themenaceanish]

Fuck you everyone, Rupert Murdoch is a true American entreprenuer. He changed the face of world media.

[LaGresse]

Is this the Pravda channel?

Can I get a part of the action too? I'll lie to anybody for money...

[janebusby]

In my opinion Rupert Murdoch is a double timing conman. He's raking in the profits from advertising anyway, and now he wants a 2nd serving from the public?! Cock.

Nobody will pay for his 2nd rate, opinion filled, Fox News type red neck commentary. It's tabloid junk anyway, and there's better out there for free. The internet is OVERLOADED with FREE QUALITY NEWS CONTENT.

[729Drew]

You know...i heard Rupert here was a closet homosexual...i swear i saw it somewhere on the internet, pics of him in drag at a Tea Party...not surprising i guess, aside from the laundry list of Conservatives who turn out to be closet fags, but everyone i've ever heard of being named Rupert have all been "fabulous" if you catch my drift

[Ki3RaN]

@729Drew I think arguing that he is a homosexual is precisiely the kind of anti intellectism that advocates of free news are trying to get rid off... i.e by giving knowledge to the masses for free... even murdoch is all for this (knowledge to get a leg up in society) he just believes that u have to pay to do it....

[729Drew]

@Ki3RaN

Its youtube friend, if we cant joke here...the terrorists win, grow a sense of humor.

[JONATHAN1984ATHEIST]

Translation: If you use Fox News clips to criticize Fox News and expose their propoganda and lies and post it online they'll seek legal action against you.

[whoo689]

What the hell is Murdoch referring to?? I don't think I've seen that very often on the net.

[whoo689]

LOL! Fair use is theft, Murdoch?? Really? So NO ONE should play back anything from Fox News for others to see and hold your network accountable?

[sjcpal]

He's the Owner of News Corpse , good bye Rupert don't let the grave make you stumble into it ...

[fearnoevilexceptbush]

Glenn Beck and Bill O'Liely investigating stories for months??? It's enough to make you weep! I say: nationalize the whole News Corp and split it up into nice solid, single news corporations. I say again: DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER!

[mashwo1]

i heard that this man is one of the biggest porn pusher around. his media corp. owns some of the biggest names out there.

[slewofdamascus]

"journalists" - hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahah­ahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhah­ahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahaahahahahahaahhaahahhahaa­hhahahahahaahahahahahahahahaah­ahahahahahahahahahhaahahahahah­hahahaahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahaahahhahahahahaahhah­ahaahahhahahahahaahahhahahahah­aahahahahahahahhahahaahhahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahaahahahahahahaahahha­haha

[SEF6519]

ah so this is the godfather behind fox news... ... ....so he considers taking fox news clips to show how fucking biased they are, is considered theft now... ...well that just says it all for me ^_^'

*cocksucker*

[NightfallGemini]

Murdoch's one to talk about theft.

[eviloprah]

Is he addressing his own network? Yeah Fox stop making up story's!

[theliberalparis]

no ruport, they don't re wright, they rectify.

[BemusedTIger]

holocaust is stupid hateful lie used by jews to steal rape cheat murder torture and feel justified in doing so. EXPEL THE JEW

[heymakers]

Dude, you need some counseling or anger mgmt.

[BemusedTIger]

maybe u need some jew management

[sLowd09]

Will someone please shoot that fucking kike.

[perfectbark]

hmmm, in the world of the journalism professional, I wonder what is worse, fallacious reporting of world events to support the reactionary wing of the GOP, or this alleged "stealing?" Murdochs print media is taking a nosedive, even the WAJ is a piece of crap compared to pre-Newscorp ownership.

what a rabid greedy old man he is. Thanks GOP for deregulating the FCC so we can have foreign ownership of our news outlets.. effing idiots.

[fuckyiuyiu]

Disgusting old man. When will he Ailes, O'Reilly, Beck and Limbaugh croak?

Maybe then, we can get back to "journalism"rather than propoganda.

[tvontheradiohead]

Yeah, he's exactly right. That would be just like some one stealing clips from the Daily Show, and cutting out the parts they don't like to broadcast a one sided agenda.

[heymakers]

Oh wait, where have I seen that editing, cuting and pasting of clips from other ppls shows that distorts the original context...oh yeah, FOX NEWS. Ha!

[MsWeeScot]

Why is Murdoch benefiting from a tax subsidized broadcasting license? I will never figure this one out.

There is something vulgar about a corporate lobby (Fraud News) using a tax funded broadcasting license to mislead and abuse the public for financial gain.

[perfectbark]

even stupid people need a voice I suppose

[MyVinchenzo]

This man is the greatest single  manipulator of democracy in the western world.His influence should be accountable.

[jantzen212003]

in other words, "stop exposing us"

[ronningonempty]

Someone should pay Murdoch for spewing hate, fomenting fear and anarchy? Someone should pay him to drop dead.

[tehKap0w]

'the tattered veil of fair-use"

my irony detector just broke!

[nidodson]

RM, it isn't only that people won't pay, it is that they shouldn't have to pay. Being a news station should be a public services that journalists are honored to be a part of helping the community. To sell that service is wrong, and theft.

There is one reason why what you do wont be that, and it is because you don't report the news. You report propaganda, lies, and falsehoods, all of which that support the far religious right and GOP.

[bugabudon]

Wow. He is claiming others do what Fox News does all of the time. He probably is right in his analysis and his point is valid, but this statement is hypocritical in the extreme. If he really wants others to stop this type of distortion without attribution, he should set the tone since his network does it more than anyone else.

[mbaguer]

If there is an antichrist. Murdoch is it! pure evil

[theliberalparis]

I would rather cut my dick off and eat it then pay one cent to this vampire.

[MarcusCardiff]

PS this guy owns Fox News.

That says everything you need to know about his journalistic standards.

Hypocrite.

[perfectbark]

amen to that brother.

The damage this foreign parasite has done to our nation is equivalent to the most damaging espionage of the cold war era ....

[MarcusCardiff]

People won't pay as better content is out there for free.

Remember this is, The Sun newspaper we're talking about, do you really think people on the internet will pay you to see a pair of tits.

If you want the same news content as Murdochs tabloids with 100 times the humour then there are channels on here that offer far better,

[TheInvincibleHERPO]

distinguished journalists hahahaha fuck you rupert and your nwo homies, i have some bullets for you!

[aznluck]

WHAT!? Rupert Murdoch talking about true journalism? BAHAHAHAH How about he hire some REAL JOURNALISTS to his FIX NEWS!

[Underdog123]

ATEENTION Rupert Murdoch and FOX NEWS Corporation We using your Content as theft, Excuse me whose using who.

I say Attacking Obama, Pelosi, Atheism, Agnostism, Islam, Liberalism, CNN, MSNBC/NBC, The New York Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post, CBS and ABC is not theft.

But Attacking Talk Radio, FOX NEWS, Drudge Report, Conversatism, Christianity, World Net Daily Theft.

This is America not Australia Free Speech isn't theft Besides Why would I go to your Websites or watch Your news anyway

[DixonRants]

Do you know what's fair use? Using the material in both an educational and/or a critical way. For example: I recently uploaded my latest episode of "FOX News Insanity", but their was a notice on the video that had copyright claims on it. I disputed that, and hopefully it'll succeed.

[shalindriaharam]

Murdoch is full of crap. Free speech is just that, free. You put information out into the world, people can do what they want with it. Not only that, news channels like fox news don't always air accurate stories, so I'm sure some of the information his publications have put out to the public haven't been entirely true. You cannot stop the internets, information is free!

[Nictusempra]

The note of reproduction without attribution is a fair one; the rest is old-fashioned and out of date.

i didn't realize that being upset with plagiarism was particularly left or right-wing, though; Murdoch's view here is pretty common among older journalists, I think you'd find.

[zigglestein217]

Someone needs to introduce him to 2009. The way people communicate and receive information has completely changed over the last decade. He either needs to adjust or close up shop, like any other business has to do when the times change. Isn't crying boo-hoo-hoo to the government something the Republican party discourages?

[mae1958]

That is where advertising comes in. If I am expected to pay for news content, then I want my news AD FREE. He can say what he wants but not all online newspapers are going to charge.

[Nictusempra]

The ones that stay in business in the long term will. Eventually.

The remaining free sites will be non-producing content portals that just link you to AP reports. This model isn't sustainable.

[optiuum67]

He's right about one thing. People should be prepared to pay for news content given the amount it costs to provide decent journalism. I would never go and buy one his papers or subscribe to his online content but it takes somebody as large as News Corp. to do this first and take the financial hit, before other more reputable papers follow.

[JustanOlfrend]

again...in a perfect world...he would have had to answer questions as to why his organization tries so hard to influence US Government policy? and what are the ends they seek? (as if it isn't nakedly obvious)

[joespeed87]

The sad part is that Murdoch knows that most Americans dont like Fox News,even though they get high ratings,because these "reporters" are willing to cover up the bullshit that they create. It is all about the Benjamins with Montgomery Burns Murdoch. Nothing else,nothing more.

[theastrusmega]

Ya Murdoch's speech there was a direct attack on Media Matters.

[DeeDemonwitch]

so why doesn't he apply these principles to his own media empire (rhetorical)

[xraykat]

Fuck Rupert Murdoch, all he knows is how to peddle propaganda and fear into the American public. Fucking old douche bag piece of fucking goddamn shit asshole!!! There's got to be a nazi uniform underneath that suit he's wearing :)

[leodelagarza]

@xraykat Great description! =)

[xraykat]

Thanks leodelgarza, great minds think alike. Well except for those fucks who may agree with Rupert Murdoch.

[j0hnwi11iams]

Information wants to be free. If your news content had any substance it would sell itself through advertising. Old geezer is just trying to eliminate the competition as usual.

[huckleberry12]

what a piece of garbage this old bag of shit is.

I desperately want to kill him in front of his whole family.

[heymakers]

May I suggest that FOX News and Fox Business News become pay per view channels. See how much money you make from your "loyal" followers then.

[Seleucus84]

Shut up and die already you old fuck.

Who the hell would want to steal news corp propaganda stories anyway? It's tabloid journalism at its worst.

[KolonelKARUNA]

what about tamilnet?

according to tamil net we r winning army runing,

maawillar still closed, tiger-air farts still bombing colombo, leader alive, 70% of elam is under tigers, kilinochchi never surrenderd!..

[Seleucus84]

KolonelKARUNA's whole purpose on youtube is to harass and intimidate anyone who critisizes the policies and actions of the corrupt and facist Sri Lankan government. KolonelKARUNA does this by stalking anyone he considers to have a valid criticism of his beloved government and spamming all their comments with his nonsensical diatribe.

[Seleucus84]

The Sri Lankan government and it's supporters do not want anyone to know the truth about what is truly happening in Sri Lanka. To learn more about the atrocities commited by the Sri Lankan government, please check out the videos in my favourites. Thanks.

[KolonelKARUNA]

leader no talking why?

[TheRamenAvenger]

Fuck Rupert Murdoch, he wouldn't know what journalism was if it hit him in the face.

[SatwaMan]

Murdoch owes the News world more than enyone else .That is the only news here.

It must be embarrassing to be Austrlain, and ho wcome they do not denounce and arrest this criminal Murdoch.?

He has stolen the truth from the owrld for decades

.The world has come to the concliusion that he is a liar a thief and the worst criminal. He admostted tp trying to kill hundreds of thousands of Iraq's the world can move on from this dispicable disgusting vermon Murdoch.

[grenangle]

So the trailer parks of America must learn to pay for their news ? Good luck with that .

[OriMeissa]

"These people are not investing in journalism"

Neither are you, Mr Murdoch. You appear to invest heavily in spreading propaganda, journalism's antithesis.

And neither are rumours, warmongering, scaremongering and outright lies "fair use" of the public responsibility that wielding your kind of power and influence requires.

[emonerd826]

Murdoch's "news" is just sensationalism. Just look at the New York Post.

[kellygiz]

"These people are not investing in journalism". Mr. Murdoch, have you ever watched Fox News?

[mamui65]

Unfortunately he is right. Any journalist can attest to the work that goes into writing a news story, which most people take for granted. Journalists need to get paid too.

[copcorona]

oh the people will pay. some people DO get something for nothing.  Ask Wall Street.

[Im4science]

He's right, his customers are dumb enough to pay for their propaganda as long as they agree with it. Whenever they say "smart enough" people like him really mean "dumb enough".

[FormerlyKnownAsNopez]

What a Scrooge.

It's all about the money with this guy.

[grahamkeithtodd]

he seems to "forget" a few scant years ago his British newspaper "The Sun" tried to pass off a news story as their own...

mind you it's REALLY hard to "forget" having to pay a rival newspaper a few million pounds to avoid going to jail for THEFT!

[RaychSeldon33]

The man who owns Fox news should not DARE speaking of journalism.

[mollen19]

haha same old song as the record labels, he will fail like everyone else

[onedickhead]

LiberalVeiwer??? he is afraid of the truth...

[Propagandhi900]

why's that?

[onedickhead]

why is that what ???

[Propagandhi900]

LiberalViewer.

[onedickhead]

LiberalVeiwer...and you and me and anyone that might expose the bull shit way that they are trying to point the publics view...

[onedickhead]

Rupert Murdoch and his gang wants total control...

[Zlibservacratican]

Wow, what hypocrisy! Fos steals stories and rewrites it everyday! He is talking about LiberalVeiwer here! He is honestly afraid of people like LV! I hope he loses all his money fighting this losing battle, I hope he goes broke!

[onedickhead]

Good and useful value ???Lets look at that statement....FCC we need to start making some changes...FOX....I want you off my cable that I pay for....We have the technology to do it......TARDS !!!!

[scbluesman13]

Fuck Murdoch, fuck Fox News. They are slimey, lying, hatemongering ignorant thugs. The ONLY benefit to showing clips of their "reporting" is to show just how badly they lie and spew hateful propaganda.

[grahamkeithtodd]

well said scbluesman13 old son... well said!

[onedickhead]

Google is his tool.......

[onedickhead]

Fuck fox.....I want them off my TV(as far as their bullshit news)...shit I need a camara...I need to rant about this ...

[onedickhead]

Its a 80s thing.........

[onedickhead]

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[onedickhead]

The American people believe what they see.....

[heymakers]

Yeah, Rupert pays Beck a ton of money for chalk, markers, blackboards, red phones and various other props to enage us in all those in-depth fascist, socialist, hitler, stalin connect the dots conspiracy theories. He can't give those away for FREE! HAHAHAAA!

[REBMike1]

Fox News has journalists, you could have fooled me.

[803brando]

even though their leadership is fucked up in the head, there are a few (like 3-4) actual journalists left at fauxnews.

[Boomer1949]

Is he nuts? Fox wouldn't even be watched on tee vee as much if not for the blogers and tweeters. He should be thanking all of them, not trying to shut them down.

[DeeDemonwitch]

Without Youtube I wouldn't even know 'Fox News' existed.

Though I've yet to decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I like to be informed, but sometimes ignorance is bliss :)

[C0ct0pusPrime]

it's sad that this fucktard is upset people are using his 'expensive production' shit to show they're wrong simply with cheap webcams and video editors...like me.

[WhirlingWolves]

indeed C0ct0. If Rupert had his way we would have to pay a fee simply to talk about fox "news" online.

And in your case of using actual fox "news" clips to make your point? Well, my friend would be arrested... and held in Guantanamo... indefinetly.

[timtuba]

remember what happened to pay toilets - people still snuck in!!!

what a maroon!

[JustanOlfrend]

they should be questioning him about use of media to influence policy...it is naked

[JustanOlfrend]

who is he kidding? if they had not been discredited in the public eye then he would not need to stand there and sell that bull pucky.

as if people can't see for themselves and tweet about it...following his logic...the fire down the street they tweeted about is "journalistic content only" ... no one else can chat about it...it is the same dang fire

[KevinBjorke]

...and copy our Fox News content to their Myspace pages, which, uh, we also own. But we should still sue these parasites.

[lota68]

Translation "ure stealing my shit"

[thorkyll]

I thought most of the news in the world came from the Associated Press and Reuters. I'm pretty sure Murdoch doesn't own them.

[voyeurdug]

He's merely describing Fox News SOP, and reversing the onus. They take news, change the contexts and a few critical words, and out comes propaganda.

[hollygolightly66]

What's he on about? He doesn't employ any journalists or report any news.

[nidodson]

As to the info to the side. Journalism will survive by adapting to the internet age, and while blogs and other websites turn into news sources where people can select the content they care about and ignore the crap they are normally stuck watching on TV.

[Melpheos1er]

interesting study on "stealing" on tinyurl : ylq7fug

Hmmm it seems that most Fox website uses other journalist work without paying a dime for it...

[Ed76638]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Please bitch, block your shitty "content".

[Runesocesius]

Ok, i lol'ed when he said "journalism", i admit it.

[grazon]

Well Rupert doesn't have to worry since Foxnews doesn't employ Journalists.

[MrBennetzen]

Do I smell Worst Persons for Rupert Murdock? "Shiver Me Timbers!"

[Steadno]

this wrinkle bag is sick

[chewbaca1989]

Tough titties, free press. Untangled Press, find another business Murdoch.

[ndvuncle]

Rupert Murdoch is no different than Hermann Goering. Same propaganda; different decade, different country. Before he was executed, atleast Goering had the decency to admit what he was doing. The right-wing of the US has absolutely no devency at all. Pathetic. Rat. Bastard.

[lms264t]

What are you saying Rupert? That Fox News has legitimate journalists? Does Bret Baier have a degree in Journalism? I cant find any info on it. Gretchen Carlson is disgraced and discredited. She has been fired from every t.v. job she has had, the last with CBS. Major Garret is the only person that I could find who actually has a Journalism Degree. Chris Wallace attended Harvard, and worked for their radio station, but there is no mention of a Journalism Degree. Phony news from phony journalists.

[powerpsi]

All he wants is money.

SWEET SWEET MONEY HAHAAHAHAHAHA

[manonthemount]

This ignoramus doesn't understand that free citizens aren't stealing from journalists. On the contrary, journalists have been capitalizing on the stories of our lives for centuries. Now, in the 21st century, we are free to tell our own story

Fuck off Murdoch

[ThisguyQuake]

And there goes the internet folks. What so does that mean He owes money to the people who he reports on?

[YellowJarrett]

it amazes be that he think we'll buy his news when we can get it for free. has he not been paying attention to the music industry?

[AscottW]

The moment he said "Distinguished journalists" he completely lost all credibility in this speech.

[EbonJackal]

News is fair game, Murdoch. Sorry if you can't take it when a blogger takes one of Fixed Noise's stories and eviscerates it for all its flaws but trying to claim that the use is theft is the same as a little kid pitching a fit and screaming "That's no fair!"

[Nades129]

I think he's generalizing a bit. Some are like theft, and some are really done in fair use.

[classc63]

Listening to this little heartless greedy troll talking about "integrity and value" almost made me throw up a little in my mouth!!!!!

Go ahead and charge for you crap content Murdoch and then kiss your profits BYE BYE!!!!!

[Guernicaman]

Funny how Murdoch suddenly cares about "News".

[GreenEnergy2112]

This is the first step to stop the people from fact checking fux news fact free reporting.

[kelseywall]

What an evil, evil, little man.

[Francebrasil]

Good useful value??? Does he mean Glenn Beck, or Hannity? I would not want them for free..

[TheXroadr]

If it's news it's fair game. Like when a woman's husband dies and the first thing she sees is a "journalist" waving a microphone under her nose asking what she's going to do now and how she feels. Maybe more like a man that wins the lottery and the next thing he knows fifteen "journalists" are banging on his door.

You have no claim on news or opinion for that matter.

[Nictusempra]

No.

Journalists, with or without air quotes, have no claim on events.

They have every claim on -their own writing.-

[TheXroadr]

No, I disagree. They choose to function as the consiousness of the public, their work is automatically public property.

[Nictusempra]

That being your opinion, how are they expected to make a living? Journalists who can't pay the rent or keep the lights on stop being journalists.

Just the way the world works. It'd be nice if your way was possible.

[TheXroadr]

They make a living the same way they do now,by working for publishers or agencies that employ them to report. Let's face it news lives on its ability to sell advertising space.

Reporters may have a duty to be controversial to help their publisher make money. That being said, they also have a responsibility to the public to be accurate.

I see no value in holding up a reporter's work to the same standard that would apply to a creative writer. In fact, that sends a very wrong message.

[gallomex13]

So Murdbitch wants blogers to pay for news information when they use it as reference? I will pay when they start fining News Media Organization when they produce faulty, misleading, twisted facts. Shit Fox News would go bankrupt then.

[warrenoc]

HE IS A SHAME TO ALL HUMANITY.

I'm so sick of seeing that guy. I praise God everytime for him not being able to bring his version of Fix noise to britain, i mean look what its done to America?

[Aaberg123]

Sorry. Sky News is also Murdoch's.

[grahamkeithtodd]

yes AAburg123 old son/daughter , SKY news(sic) is owned by this evil retched man BUT in the UK we have the STANDARDS BROADCASTING COMMISION! and they will not allow this shitbag wanker to start up a crappy so called news show like "FOX NEWS"(sic) in the uk!

[Aaberg123]

Thank goodness for that.

On a sidenote: What's with the grammar?!

[grahamkeithtodd]

blaim the british public school system Aaberg123 old friend...lol

[DeeDemonwitch]

what ho and jolly hockey sticks :)

[grahamkeithtodd]

errr not quite DeeDemonwitch old girl...

my school was government approved...nuff said! lol

[DeeDemonwitch]

Oh my. I am fraternising with riff-raff!

Only kidding - I am also a product of state educated :)

[grahamkeithtodd]

i am damn PROUD to be RIFF RAFF! lol

and not like this total git Murdoch if that is what being "elite" means then i am all too happy to throw my lot in with the scum and riff raff!

FUCK MURDOCH and all his evil family

[DeeDemonwitch]

hear hear my good man :)

[sjcpal]

Sounds like Captain Hook , wants to take our youtube away from all of us..

[bbbbmer]

poor rupert's almost broke and pleading poverty for his near bankrupt newscorp... let's hope reorganization finally does him in...

[biggesttrucker]

"Obama made a racist comment"

--Rupert Murdoch.

[johncrwarner]

Has Media Matters stolen Mr Murdoch's words in this video? Had he released his copyright to his speech to them. If he goes down that line - the jails will empty pretty quickly as I just claim copyright on my actions and refuse to give the courts the right to use it.

[729Drew]

"distinguished journalists"

Who exactly @ fauxnews qualifies in that category?????

[TheAwedCouple]

It seems to me the only thing Murdoch contributes to the notion of journalism anymore is money.

-"Mo"

[wearethenightmare]

I dont know why any reporter would want to take your propaganda stories unless they were alluding to you spreading lies and propping up the left-right paradigm on both bought-out ends. Go eat shit you elitist scum, and fuck your new world order

[barbtube01]

Who in the hell would want to use your biased stories, you sorry old piece of Australian crap!  May you loose millions on your new scheme!

[RobertSeattle]

Is Murdoch referring to his network taking GOP and White House Talking Points and Press Releases and using them word for word on Fox "News" Programs? :-)

[Tylonous]

Being as polite as I can, Murdoch you're a cunt.

[Craigipedia]

@Tylonous

That was fucking awesome

@RobertSeattle

No, he means bloggers who dare to reproduce and mock their material on youtube and elsewhere

[Tylonous]

Well it looks like I'm a thief. I'm going rogue!

[grahamkeithtodd]

Tylonous old son,your far far too kind towards this shitbag!
