I'm not talking about people having an 'issue' with some of his companies. I'm saying that if you want to destroy News Corp - or even just Fox News - one should consider the whole house of cards. Pull one card out... it might stand, it might not. But we should consider... think... rationally and without hysteria and partisan bullshit. I know you dislike Fox. Do what I do.... don't fucking watch. It's not hard. But they have every right to exist - unless they are found to have broken actual laws. Just be careful what you wish for.... because if we shut one station because some people don't like them, we're on a very slippery slope.
It's not about people liking them.
It's about that organization bribing public officials and committing crimes.
It about whther Murdocks managment style is really "whatever it takes" or if this particular company was a aberration from the conglomerate's usual style.
Sure, and if Murdoch has committed any crimes, I'm totally supportive (and a tad enthusiastic) of having the full weight of the law brought to bear on him. However, people are stating things as fact that are not facts. There are very few hard facts yet - because the police are still digging into it.
The Milly Dowler situation - that is fact - it has been proved.
10 journalists from NotW have been arrested. Fact. 1 journalist from NotW was convicted of criminal activity. Fact.
As for the rest of it.... not really a lot of facts.... just speculation.... And there is no suggestion (other than from people with an anti-Fox News agenda) that Fox News have ever broken a law.
In other words, if the facts prove him guilty of criminal behavior, then fuck all those people who will lose their jobs that you were crying about in your OP.
Got it.
