The Beginning of the End?

I certainly hope so.  It's sad when some things end.  The end of my beloved LOCI made me sad.  But as sad as that made me, this potential ending elates me!

Rupert Murdoch, the scourge of the news business in this country, is in trouble due to dirty dealings.  His tabloid in England, News of the World, is officially done.  His deal to buy a television broadcasting station looks like it's in the toilet, too.

He hired convicted felons?  That's the accusation anyway. One of them.  They're investigating his holdings in Great Britain.  Thank goodness for them they caught him before he could expand and pollute their media even more than he already has. 

Rupert Murdoch

(a.k.a. Dr. Evil in my household)

This man is not to be trusted.  He owns the infamous FOX news network (although what he calls news I call tabloid trash).  He owns FX and the FOX entertainment network as well.  The man also owns the New York Post and in recent years acquired the once esteemed Wall Street Journal.  It's always been considered somewhat conservative as it is the newspaper of Wall Street.  However since he purchased it, it's turned into a piece of trash, IMO.  How else can I see it when you let the likes of Rush Limbaugh (that 'big fat idiot' as proclaimed by Al Franken before he became one of the two senators from Minnesota) and Sarah Palin (who can't even speak proper English let alone write anything anyone could understand) write editorials.  I couldn't help but laugh as I read them.  I was wondering if it was just one big bad joke but unfortunately it wasn't.

Murdoch turns everything he touches into gold for himself and into crap for the rest of us who have the ability to think things through. I'm so sick of him and his FUCKED news network.

Congress is supposedly talking about investigating his American media outlets.  Nothing would please me more to see his empire blow up.  Congress please investigate this guy!!!  Oh wait, they're too busy NOT getting business done because conservatives want to protect rich people from suffering any more taxes.  Poor rich folk would have to give up a yacht or two or maybe a condo or beach house or something.  Lower taxes create more jobs?  Really?  So where are all those wonderful jobs since taxes have been this low since George Bush decided to give all his pals a break.  Maybe when the country is bankrupt they'll start creating new jobs with all the money they save?  You know, like GE, the company that paid NO taxes at all. How does that happen?  Maybe if they and other corporations paid their taxes like everyone else, we wouldn't have a budget crisis and we wouldn't have to keep borrowing money from China! 


I'm just so disgusted by the way things are going in this country the only thing that keeps me going are people like Jon Stewart and his Daily Show co-horts.  They really have a way of cutting through all the crap.
