Murdoch
Rupert Murdoch is suddenly revealed. Amazing. The world has stirred in its sleep.
Rupert Murdoch has shamelessly has spearheaded the movement of promoting the new corporate Fascism for decades. Apparently his recent knife wounds to British privacy, wielded by Rebekah (Medusa) Brooks, went too close to the bone for politicians who have many closets and many skeletons. The pawns of Fascism suddenly developed spines as their current leader in Britain became exposed as part of the Murdoch game.
Now the FBI will examine naturalized American Murdoch. This should prove interesting. Will Fox News suddenly moderate its Right Wing propaganda? Or will the American press jump to Murdoch's defense in the name of the First Amendment? Considering that he owns much of that American press, it seems highly likely. Will our Congress deal with the issue in the shouting manner of Britain's Parliament? Of course not. The game is not played that transparently in America. We have become a nation of campaign chests and publishing careers for career politicians, including our heroic President Obama.
If we progress with an illusion of the end of Murdoch, we will not have solved the problem of democracy's erosion in the hands of the wealthy and their political minions. Attention to the current Right Wing ascendency with the aid of Murdoch and others will point to a future of greater domination by the corporate wealthy and less economic justice for individuals in America.
