Ethics, phone tapping and the Murdoch press

Jump to new
Though its true, Basilio, they have no power to enforce it, so I am sure Murdoch thinks it really is like being hit with a feather.
 
What I'm really interested in seeing is how the Murdoch papers report the findings of the Parliamentary Committee. Is it big news that one of the most worlds most influential international business leaders is found to be an unfit person to head their business based on their behaviour ?

Great opportunity for fearless editorial leadership here..:D:D

Surprise, surprise, surprise... Rupert Murdoch not a fit person to head an international company. Who would have thought that ?

I don't think there is any mention of Australia? We have not had any such problems to the best of my knowledge.

This should not be used as an excuse to remove freedom of speech, imo.

Too late! Leveson inquiry in England prompts Gillard to say Murdoch's got some 'tough questions to answer', Jackboots Conroy starts up an inquiry headed by a former judge sympathetic to their cause, AND HERE WE ARE - our very own politicised media watchdog.

In the meantime, Gillard 'makes the right decision' by permanently awarding the ABC the Australia Network contract, against each and every tender evaluation process undertaken by the bureaucrats.

When will this all end? Can the Labor apologists reading thhis justify all of this simply because of their "True Believers" war cry?

it is a partisan report, the type of report that could have been written by you and Knobby, our resident Oz haters and GW alarmists. Report ignored by local News Ltd papers as being ho hum.
The fearless SMH, of course joins in, but;

The report's conclusions about Rupert Murdoch were not unanimous, with MPs splitting along party lines. Conservative MP Louise Mensch told a news conference that such a finding was beyond the committee's scope and an improper attempt to influence Ofcom.

This is right sails. The head News Ltd hater and chief censor, Stephen Conroy's office had this to say.

A spokesman for Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said the report had nothing to do with News Corp’s Australian-owned assets.

"This report relates to specific allegations confined to the United Kingdom. There is no evidence of any behaviour of this type in Australia," he said.

Basilio and Knobby will feel let down by their hero.:cautious:

It is incredulous bordering on the perverse that considering the scale of the crimes of those involved, with inditement pending, you can so blithely overt your gaze. Of course the doddering old man and his neophyte son were but putty in the hands these rouge rapscallions, and have no case to answer.
You're an interesting window how ideological blinkers that allowed the near neighbours of Dachau, a few minutes drive from Munich, to see 'nothing strange going on here'.

Brilliant! "Blithely overt your gaze" - Poetic! You have won me over with your delightful prose, particularly the Dachau touch. Bravo.

Alternately you may be just a pontificating ass.:rolleyes:
 
As much as Calliope can not stomach looking at the elegant red head, I must say that I can not stand looking at that old prune Rupert Murdoch's face.

Insufferable pontificating ass, even if I have to anoint my self with such a lofty laurel. But I think the 'P' word you were searching for was poignant. And so to channel Tarantino's, Winston Wolf to Vincent; 'now please...pretty please...pretty please with sugar on top address the News Corp's criminality'.. Or choose to remain irrelevant. It's your choice, irrelevant or exactly the way Vincent ended up.
 
Today the 93 dead of the Hillsborough disaster (1989) are proven to have been unlawfully killed by police. Anybody familiar with Murdoch 'Sun's' perverted, maligning deformation of these dead innocent souls and the protection of the police criminals involved, would be fully aware of the scum that is the heart of News LTD/Corp...
 
Ms Gretchen Carlson settles for $20 million after years of the sexual harrasment perpetrated By the long time
Head of the US Fox 'Spews' imbroglio, lets just call him Odious Ailes...
Like a fish rot from the head so it is for News corpse...

Winning battle with Murdoch is not winning a war.
 
There was 5 nasty articles attacking Adern on Sky news. All have been deleted today. Wonder why?

Skynews are stating Epstein death is not suspicious. Hmmm. Obviously a feed from News Corp.

Also the men who brought down the knife wielding guy in Sydney are not examples of toxic masculinity. Good dog whistling Credlin.

Sky news thinks they know their market, but they honestly look like idiots. Its cringe worthy stuff.

And in a similar vein, the abc pandering to China pro government was the worst thing I think I have seen.

The ABC is under pressure, the Chines see it as a state controlled news source and get very upset with bad coverage.

The q&a on democracy was shocking. Just dumb stuff. Obviously the leftists uni revenue was threatened.

I flicked through outsiders on sky today. Talk about dumb... Some of the comments made were mind blowingly stupid. Surely even bogans would turn over.

I'm a little worried about the left and chinese influence. Pro democracy students were threatened by groups linked to the greens. A chinese "rent a crowd" were quickly organised. We then get this straight out chinese propaganda on q&a.
Seems feelers are being put out there to test the limits. It needs to be shut down very fast.
