It Couldn't Have Happened to a Nicer Guy


"This man has done more to harm journalism in America and Britain than any other person. (...) In the U.S., where his newspaper holdings are limited to the New York Post and the (actually good) Wall Street Journal, his damage has been done with Fox News, the first deliberately and unapologetically biased and partisan network in American history. You disagree? Be my guest."

-- Roger Ebert

Watching the empire begin to crumble from my current vantage point in the UK is fascinating. And yet will it crumble completely? I'd love to see how the story is covered in Germany

It has not received that much coverage here, Margaret. I don't think Murdoch has much of a presence here, aside from Sky, which purchased the soccer rights a couple of years ago for its cable network.

The lengths those so-called journalists were going to in order to grab a cheap story is very scary.
