The boys are back in town
|
It’s official. The band is getting back together…
Packer said: “It is good to be back in the free-to-air television industry. I am confident in the future of free-to-air and of Network Ten.” Murdoch said: “I am pleased to be joining the board of Ten Holdings. I look forward to working collaboratively with the company on its multichannel strategies and working with the other directors to grow value for all of the company’s shareholders.” Stephen Bartholomeusz wrote in Business Spectator yesterday: “If one were into conspiracy theories, the incestuous nature of Australian media ownership would create instant paranoia.” Paranoid? Who, us? Some commentators think so. One in particular accused Crikey of being “nutjob paranoid” about the Murdoch dominance of our media. Nut job or not, we think it’s worth continuing to ask questions of the incestuous nature of media ownership in this country, starting with the anti-siphoning report that’s set to come out of Communication Minister Stephen Conroy’s office any day now… Watch this (shrinking) space. |

Coming from Miranda, the epitome of non-bias, that’s a compliment.
She does a lot more noxious Tweeting than before - could she be trying to raise her profile on a paper that also employs the even more gorgeous Janet Albrechtsen?
Would it be “paranoid schizophrenia” if one was so obsessed with “the faults of Labor” and “this conspiracy to undermine Rupert’s authority”?
Or, employed as one was, if one was, doing the same job, spinning the same thread over and over, would that make one a “paranoid android”?
Why is it taking so long for Rupert Murdoch to own every media outlet in Australia?
@Zut: Eric won’t sell.
