Problem for you is there are other media owners with principles who don’t view journalism primarily as a political stick to wield self interest.

Oh if only there were some shades of white in that loathsome black pit called News Ltd.

Your love letter sounds as daft as someone who doesn’t know the difference between infatuation and love.

I know self delusion is a symptom of old age but you have been afflicted with this problem most of your life. No metres of newspaper or hours of Fox movies or network shows will ever convince the general populace that you have anybody s interest at heart except your own.

Think of a life wasted and what you could have achieved. However you have devoted to the God of self.

Like the Packers you seem unaware that the neighbourhood dogs will pass by the cemetery and leave their mark and you will be just another headstone. I assume its not lack of intelligence that that has driven your direction in life because I’m damned if I can see any sustainable benefit in what you do. I rank the check out girl at Kmart to have achieved more in her short life than your team of misfits.

Why people continue to laud Murdoch’s business acumen is beyond me - it’s clear he’s too set in his ways and he displays no effective understanding of the changes roiling about him.

Murdoch is a dinosaur. His continued success is simply the result of brute force enabled by his rude wealth. It won’t last. I presume he simply hopes it will endure until he passes on.

For all his downfalls and mistakes, there is progress.

Hopefully the comments section here doesn’t turn into an anti-Murdoch, anti-mainstream media, anti-capitalist roundtable of trolling.
