shut down FOX "news"

@mo1elftausend

Because "success" is being rich? And "failure" is not being rich?

It is people like you who keep the Republican/Corporate oligarchy in power. You are one of their faithful subjects, a lap-dog for Monsanto, Dow Chemical, Koch Industries, Exxon Mobil, News Corp, BP, Haliburton, Lockheed. I suppose you would call these companies "successful." You have the values of a sociopath. Your favorite sociopathic author is probably Ayn Rand.

Greenwald is an American hero for his relentless campaign to show the hateful agenda of the Faux propaganda machine

@mo1elftausend I'm sure you are entertained by Fox. I see all you care about is power and not about what is right. Rupert Murdoch may be powerful but that isnt necessarily a good thing. In this case it was a very bad thing. Failure is supporting political views that HURT yourself, such as the middle class being fucked over by the rich in this country yet you still vote republican for some reason.

tremendous amount of unethical behavior on Faux news. its evil

@mo1elftausend "Success" by your definition is by no means moral by default. Stalin was powerful and I don't think many people had a problem with organisations formed to "hate on" Stalin and Stalinism.

Fox News offers a product, as you say, but isn't a functioning economy in need of consumer advice? Can not groups or individuals recommend certain products and criticise others?

[TheHarlequin13]

@mo1elftausend That entirely depends under what circumstances people are without Monsanto. If Monsanto were gone a noone took up their legitimate activities then true. However most people aren't arguing for their disappearance without a viable alternative, so your point is moot.

BP, Exxon Mobile etc don't give people oil. They lobby governments, many of which are extremely oppressive, for the rights to extract oil which they well on for a profit. It's a similar story with Lockheed Martin,

if murdock wanted to change the culture of his paper- by giving up and closing instead of working with - oh the UNIONS]- it shows he dosnt care about changing.

he'd rather have a temper tantrum instead of fixing his own house.

hes going to say everyone does it :(

I hope something comes out of this thats better then a show trial

[goog2k]

So, I'm not sure I understand.

Either Rupert Murdoch and his chief executives (many who resigned in Britain and now even at The Wall Street Journal) are either "criminally" involved up to their necks - or are all just totally incompetent boobs.

Which is it, Rupert?

Are you vicious habitual criminals, HACKING & BRIBING, or incompetent fools who don't even know what's going on in your companies?

Please, inquiring minds want to know.

LOL!!

Come on Rupert, do you really think we're all dupes???
