Murdoch Admits He Tried to Shape Public Opinion on Iraq

Rupert Murdoch Admits He Tried to Shape Public Opinion on the Iraq War during an otherwise smug and elitist conversation at the DAVOS WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM which took place in January 2007.

Murdoch met in forum with host Charlie Rose, Israeli Vice Prime Minister (& Foreign Affairs Minister!) Tzipi Livni.

Also there was Rt Hon GORDON BROWN MP
Chancellor of the Exchequer in the UK-- whom Charlie Rose announced during the meeting to be who "everyone expected to be the next Prime Minister."

There you have it! The founder of Fox News admits to "shaping" how he wants news to come out instead of being "Fair and Unbiased". His words not ours.

I see we have the next Hitler here.

Yay!!! Thanks a lot Murdoch! When you inevitably make your rounds to the gravestones of the peasants your agenda helped to slaughter, remember, you still could steal their private information and turn it into a big screen hit raking in billions off the ignorance of the masses. Besides, what are the masses but mud to be ground underfoot, fuel to be burned for those who deserve it?

Nothing you wouldn't know from watching 10 seconds of Fox, long live Iran, long live Press TV, stop censorship and give the west both sides of the story you assholes, what are you so afraid of?

Much like the London Bridge this Global Empire is falling down, and the CIA can't keep repressing freedom of speech forever with their lies, hidden info and false invasions of Syria.

We all know what's going on, we're screaming at the top of our lungs in warning, eventually the west will realise it too.

Murdoch telephoned the British Prime Minister in 2003, urging him not to delay the invasion of Iraq.

Murdoch is one of the biggest assholes ever to been born

Also ask yourself whether MSNBC have an agenda. If you answered no, rethink. If you said yes, how is that different than Fox News (or for that matter the NYTimes) trying to influence public opinion...But Charlie Rose knows this, he was just playing to his audience.

[ThrasybulusBrig]

I believe when he says "we tried" he is referring to the editorial aspect of his media "empire." Most media outlets have an editorial page that is separate from its hard "news" page. The New York Times in its editorial page takes positions on major issues every day (almost exclusively left-of-center positions). Surely through this they're helping to "shape an agenda."
