After years of forcing myself to watch a bit of FOX daily I find that: Murdoch is a warmonger, racist, incendiary, imperialist, amoral, disturbed mind threat to human civilization. I'd add virtually every other insult epithet and diatribe I could think of against the stinking sob piece of trash that passes for human...but that would be boring

I don't think you can judge Murdoch from one of his possessions. He owns a lot, and they vary in their political stances. None of them are liberal-left (though apparently his son is a liberal), but they range from liberal-right to gutter jingoism. I'm more worried about the amount of power he has. He forced Tony Blair to promise a referendum on the European constitution by saying his papers would support the Tories otherwise. Now, many people wanted that, but the problem is that he basically blackmailed the Prime Minister, and no one should be able to do that.

From what you have written I have yet one more reason to hate him. I do understand that hate is a strong word but having viewed his organs in the US and their effect on US society over the last decade or so I am 'beside myself'. Particularly, in matters relating to the Middle East, his news operations here have been nothing but cold blooded war mongering. He is a dangerously subtle racist and...here I really must stop for a while. It will truly get boring and I'm cetain I've made myself plain.
