Rupert Murdoch is Public Enemy Number One

[acptulsa]

Rupert wants Obama reelected. You know it and I know it. Rupert pumps the Republican candidates who don't have a snowball's chance in hell against Obama in the general election so that Obama won't have to worry about the fact that he betrayed everyone who voted for him in 2008 when he runs for reelection. You know it and I know it.

How do we prove it? Or, at the very least, how do we make people (even if they're about as sharp as a bowling ball) see it? How do we open everyone's eyes to this seemingly obvious truth?

This fat Australian, already banned in Britain for playing god with their politics, is making fools of a not insignificant portion of the U.S. population. How do we expose this? There must be one or two pieces of evidence that can cause the whole thing to come into focus with crystal clarity for even the nittiest nitwit. What are they?

Well, there was that "Rupert Tweets about Rick Santorum" story a couple weeks ago.

Seriously...SANTORUM???

Typical American response will be: "Who is Rupert Murdoch?"

Yes it would.

I try and try to keep the memory of fictional yellowcake uranium in the public memory. How many times must we be fooled on matters of such magnitude by this unAmerican non-American?

Some observers see Murdoch as more closely attracted to power and opportunism than ideology. Tim Arango of the New York Times writes, “Mr. Murdoch's politics have often proved more malleable and less dogmatic than his critics have portrayed. He has been pragmatic in aligning himself, and his company, with power, rather than ideology. He supported Tony Blair in Britain, and in 2006, his New York Post endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Senate. Mr. Murdoch even hosted a fundraiser for Mrs. Clinton. And shortly after the election of Barack Obama as president, the Post fawned over him in its pages.

I think Rupert doesn`t want Obama for 1 simple reason. Check his latest tweets. He clearly said Obama was bought by Silicon Valley in opposing SOPA.
His pet Santorum is all for SOPA so... it`s natural he wants Santorum.

His Newscorp had some clashes with Google in recent years. We`re witnessing now a battle between internet giants that want free stuff so they can sell ads better and the content creators like Murdoch backing SOPA.

Rupert recent tweets:

"On SOPA, where are all big film stars with many millions to lose?"

"Don't care about people not buying movies, programs or newspapers, just stealing them."

"AFL-CIO supporting SOPA!"

"Nonsense argument about danger to Internet. How about Google, others blocking porn, hate speech, etc? Internet hurt?"

"More pirates. Whole entertainment ind employs 2.2 million ave salary 65 g. Good jobs and expanding foreign earnings. Made in America, too!"

"Piracy leader is Google who streams movies free, sells advts around them. No wonder pouring millions into lobbying."

"So Obama has thrown in his lot withSilicon Valley paymasters who threaten all software creators with piracy, plain thievery. -"

[doctorfunk]

Pointing it out makes is look like conspiracy theorists. Strong grassroots will be more powerful.

[acptulsa]

We need to introduce America to this bastard.

Where's Joey Pencil when you need him?

Murdoch: What's the matter, Barack my boy?

Obama: I'm worried, Mr. Murdoch sir.

Murdoch: What on Earth could you be worried about, son? I've got my New York Post and my Wall St. Journal singing your praises. You'll win reelection going away.

Obama: But I'm not so sure. I've broken every promise I was elected on at least twice each, and betrayed every single person who supported me and voted for me.

Murdoch: That's no big deal, my friend. They're American voters. They're accustomed to that sort of thing.

Obama: But what about the Republicans? I've given them everything they need to defeat me soundly. Do you think they'll just let an opportunity like this pass?

Murdoch: I know they will.

Obama: But, sir, what makes you so sure?

Murdoch: Well just look around you, son. Why do you think I started Fox News? I've got the Republicans convinced that the only candidate they've got who can beat you is unelectable, and not by providing any logical argument of it or proof, but just by saying it over and over again. I've got them narrowed down to an arrogant has-been with so much baggage a FedEx jet couldn't get it off the ground. This idiot has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt he doesn't believe a word he says, yet they think he'll fool the independents in November. And have you heard him talk about locking up Americans just because he said they might be terrorists? Anyone in his right mind would be scared to death of him. And you're worried?

I own Fox and The Wall St. Journal and my viewers and readers can't even bother to check to see that I not only didn't have a clue if there was yellowcake uranium in Iraq before I said there was, but that I endorsed Hillory Clinton in the New York Post.

I've got the fix in, Barack my boy. Relax.

*Obama grins*

Obama: Gosh, Mr. Murdoch, sir. You're the best.


"So Obama has thrown in his lot withSilicon Valley paymasters who threaten all software creators with piracy, plain thievery. -"

And with all that Obama has done for the elites like Rupert, you think that's a deal breaker? I say the man is well aware that at least a few of us know he owns Fox, and was looking for an excuse to criticize the guy for cover. Not everyone on the neocon side of the aisle is as arrogant and stupid as Newt, and willing to sit on a love seat with Nancy Pelosi.

If the media needs to be blackmailed into doing the right thing or, at the very list, discouraged from willfully engaging in unethical journalism (if we can call what they do journalism, which it clearly is not), then that's a job for a group like Anonymous, who love to expose individuals and reveal all their personal baggage for ethical infractions and crony corruption.

We Ron Paul supporters need to do what we can by remaining above the fray and simply spreading the message of truth and liberty.

Rupert Murdoch is Media. And worse.

Anonymous is not us, and will not do our bidding. As far as I can tell, Anonymous is there to scare the public into doing things like passing internet censorship. If it isn't the NSA itself, I'd be very surprised.


We Ron Paul supporters need to do what we can by remaining above the fray and simply spreading the message of truth and liberty.

You don't convince people to fight for their rights from above the fray. You convince people to fight for their rights by showing them that you're in the same boat they are, and we're all already in the fray.

Murdoch is most defiantly a monster, after what we seen his newspapers do in the UK with the all phone hacking crap, he was forced to close his biggest selling paper here, The News Of The World. He also used to support the Labour Party in the UK up until a few years back but for political reasons he had his newspapers switch to the Torries (Now in power btw)..

Yeah, that party switch doesn't look very ideological, does it? And few here in the U.S. understand that the same opportunist that owns Fox and the Wall St. Journal also owns the likes of the New York Post. And people actually buy it when Fox commentators rail against the 'librul media'. Kind of funny, but then again, trying to overcome it is frustrating as hell.

Pray, do tell us some more horror stories about how Rupert got himself booted from the Isles! We didn't get a whole lot of coverage of all of that over here for some reason.

[GrahamUK]

The phone hacking scandal showed what pondlife these people are...The first article explains how investigators acting on behalf of Murdochs paper were accessing the voice mail messages of a missing girl.. Milly Dowler who was around 12-13 had gone missing and later found brutally murdered, as soon as she was discovered missing a police search was launched. But as the article explains the actions of these so called journalists may have actually hampered the search and defiantly gave the Dowlers a false sense of hope as they preserved Milly might still be alive as it appeared she was accessing her voice mails when in fact she was already dead and it was Murdochs cronies

http://www.thenational.ae/news/world/europe/phone-hacking-made-milly-dowler-parents-think-daughter-was-alive

This article is just as disturbing as it tells of a common practice to hack the families of dead soldiers voice mails in order to gain otherwise personal information

Pond scum indeed. Thank you for those. They are definitely not common knowledge this side of the Atlantic--or, at least, not south of the 49th Parallel.

If you think of any others, do please post them. Thanks!

I never understood why this video never got much traction. This is Murdock clearly saying he wants war with Iraq and that even though he owns one of the most if not they most influential media outlet - the "voters" are smart enough to know the truth.

And this is the guy who owns Fox. The thing that safeguards us all from the 'Liberal Media'. And just happens to own the New York Post.

Surely we can expose him and his network for what they really are. We've done so much and come so far. Surely we can pull this off. Especially after all of this G.O.P.-weakening 'flavor of the month' bubble-blowing b.s. with Bachmann, Perry, Cain and now Gingrich.

This is nothing but G.O.P. sabotage. Considering how independent voters feel about all four of these, how could it be anything else?

Unfortunately, there are people who still buy that. They're the ones we have to get through to, or at least it would behoove us to get through to them.

They're awfully caught up in the false left/right paradigm. Rupert, obviously, is not. We really need to emphasize that however we can.

Why can we not expose to all of the Fox viewers how Fox is maneuvering them into trying to nominate the candidate least likely to beat Obama? Just because they like whoever it is, they refuse to believe that independents don't want anything to do with a psychopathic idiot with enough baggage to keep a FedEx jet from leaving the ground? Are they just on Marx's 'opiate of the masses'? Can they not be forced to kick the habit?

Fox spins this little 'dittohead' world they get lost in. Too much fun. But at the end of the day, even Bob Dole knew Bob Dole couldn't win, John McCain was a joke against Obama, and they're about to get fooled again. How stupid do you have to be to think Newt freaking Gingrich will steal the vote of one single person who voted for Obama four years ago--no matter how bitterly backstabbed they feel today? Fox keeps playing them up and pushing them to be self-indulgent and it keeps becoming a smaller club with less and less chance of being even slightly relevant. All the dittoheads are good for today is nominating another McCain to lose the general--and we're about to get to the point where they aren't even strong enough against us to do that. In fact, I think we're already there.

That's what Murdoch's all about, and what Fox has become. And it's deliberate. Just obviously enough that even a dittohead should be able to see it by now. Time to rub their noses in it. They're as betrayed as Obama voters. The difference is, most Obama supporters are just smart enough to realize it.

[LisaNY]

I agree acptulsa, but these people are fully brainwashed and there's nothing we can do about it. The Democrats have been trying to go after fox for years with coordinated boycotts, fcc complaints, etc. The only way fox will lose relevancy with Republicans is if their viewers wake up, we know some have but not nearly enough. I used to watch fox 24/7 until some Ron Paul supporter on the internet posted a link to RP's speech at CPAC 2010. 5 minutes in and I was instantly deprogrammed.

[flightlesskiwi]

acptulsa, i've been asking myself the same dang question. now, i KNOW for a fact once a person's eyes are open to Ron Paul, the blatant Fox media bias is blatant.

but for those still asleep... i don't know. sometimes it feels like i'm grasping at straws. especially in the over-45 group.

i've been thinking maybe i could bring up all the poo programming on the Fox networks-- how utterly disgusting it all is as far a traditional family values and morals and tie it into a dialogue that goes something like "that's the SAME corporation that brings you fox news and here is the man who owns this corporation (and bring in the voicemail situation across the pond)"...

i'm at a loss. the people i'm engaged with who are politically active flock to fox news like... well... sheep.

Occupy Fox

[acptulsa]

Well, you know, Republicans love adversity and hate libruls. A boycott just make them rally 'round. I'm not talking about anything of the sort.

What I'm saying is Fox wants Obama reelected. Fox wants Obama reelected. If Fox didn't want Obama reelected, Fox would have taken at least one moment out of its busy schedule to say one kind word about one candidate that had one chance in fifteen trillion of beating Obama this November. Fox has not done that. Ergo, Fox wants Obama reelected.

QED.

[acptulsa]

It's time to finally teach these 'team player' Republicans which team Rupert Murdoch is really on. Fox has proven it. All we have to do is show why their actions are that proof.

[acptulsa]

We have got to teach the rank and file that Ron Paul is the way to get Obama out. We've got to rub their noses in the fact that poll after poll proves this.

And if all the so-called evidence they have to the contrary is, 'Fox says Newt's the guy to do it,' we've got to rub their noses in Rupert's true colors. That's all there is to it.

I would say it's the Financial Institutions that back Fox that want Obama re-elected rather than Fox. Romney is just the actor to keep their opponents distracted. If you're going to say one conclusion is obvious, then follow through with the thought and look at where the fiat is going and coming from. Goldman Sachs, JPM, and BOA have all donated to both Obama and Romney, and are the institutions that extend lines of credit to all of the Media agencies as well as essentially owning most of them.

Ann Coulter has been unabashedly supporting Mitt Romney this entire race. And that's after she got through fawning and drooling over gun-grabbing Governor Chris Christie. I thought she was supposed to be opposing liberals, not campaigning for them! Show Fox News viewers that the same people they trust as conservatives are actually pushing for big government candidates when it counts.

"What I'm saying now is: of the available candidates, Romney is by far the most conservative, tied with Michelle Bachmann, and he has a proven ability to win in a state like Massachusetts."
-- Ann Coulter


"I think Romney would be a good president. But I also think that Gingrich, Bachmann, Santorum... everybody but Ron Paul would be a good president."
