News Corp owner Rupert Murdoch, long a mouth-piece for the Neo-Con administration, has found himself up against the ropes this week, and this time the contender is, get this, his very own newspaper. He’s been trying like hell to buy the “Wall Street Journal”, and thereby the Dow Jones Industrial average, and ideally still maintain his so called “fair and balanced” idiom. Idiom my ass.

Rupert Murdoch has been accused of personally killing top stories in the New York Post specifically to meet his own personal, political agenda. Affidavits have taken it a tad further, stating that Murdoch had demanded stories about Bill and Hillary Clinton be pushed to the forefront, while stories about a Chinese diplomat and his strip club forays were buried, because it might have angered Murdoch’s bestest buddies, the international affiliates who make his overseas ventures so stupidly profitable, if not surprisingly and needlessly so.

The Bancroft family, who still owns controlling interest in The Wall Street Journal, need not look so far as the Times or Post’s New York to know what a media bastard this Murdoch fellow is. What’s shocking is not that there’s a backlash against him, but that it has come from his own newspaper. Fox News even went so far as to give a glowing review of the decidedly left winger Michael Moore’s new film SiCKO, which has been a point of contention most specifically to the tabloid mouthpieces of Fox News.
