NB. The previous editor of the Daily Telegraph is now the editor of the New York Post, another Murdoch paper.
I am outraged at this article and Mr Murdoch claims to be a proud American - how can he employ somebody who hates America?
So will Tom Cruise be leaving with Alec Baldwin anytime soon
Murdoch is a shrewd businessman who saw a market in the USA for a news channel that offered "fair and balanced" coverage of the news. American conservatives were thirsting for something besides the liberally slanted dreck that was being dished up by CNN and the broadcast networks.
Since Murdochs papers in Austrailia are all liberal rags, it seems that he is catering to the thirst of those readers to read any amount of socialist slanted news about the USA. Makes you wonder about the Aussie population.
The New York Post Editor knows better than to bring that crap here to America. I've been glad that the format still rules at The Post because I was kind of worried about him coming here.
The Aussie media is filled with blatant Bush-hate, America-bashing, anti-Semitism, and absolutely blind slavish boot-licking lust for the farthest of far-left thought, practically all of it written (as you can see from this so-called "article") by people who literally are so stupid that they are unable to compose comprehendable sentences, much less entire essays. (At least the people at the Guardian and the Robert Fisk types in the UK can actually write, even if what they have to say is nauseating.)
The Australian media situation is so bad that most people do not believe it until they see it for themselves. Which is why I recommend you all check out the weblog of Tim Blair, a moderate-to-conservative Australian journalist and columnist who provides daily updates of, and hilarious trashings of, the unreadable, hate-filled bile pouring out of the Australian media. It's not just the newspapers, either. It's the radio stations, national TV, everything.
As for Murdoch, well, just remember that most liberal rags here in the US have their token conservative columnist, so I suppose you've found that paper's token anus.
Get a grip.
And glad we are of that.
Interesting how there is no mention of Bill Clinton in this article.
So we are supposed to believe that the massive fraud at MCI Worldcom and Enron is the fault of George W. Bush, of course.
Nothing to do with that great "it's the economy, stupid" president Bill Clinton, whose "reign" shaped a corporate world where the "needs" of the stockholders are more important than the "needs" of the customers, and the "needs" of the top managers are way beyond the needs of employees.
Oh yes, GWB and his "oil industries cronies" are responsible for all of it.
Too bad this authord didn't see an interview I did this week, where one economic academic pointed the finger of blame squarely at Clinton, for putting a "stamp of approval" on a culture where lies, cheating and theft are okay.
Left still outraged that progress is being made. Euros blathered for a day or two, as usual, not having read the speech, but negative to it anyway. Arab leaders make a point or two about Arafat, but have been pretty quiet.
From where I sit, I thought "the rest of the world" was pulling away from Sharon and like frightened sheep, making Arafat look and sound like a saint! Oh well, consider the source.
That's fine with Nicole, who wants to take the kids back to her native Austrailia, away from the crazies in his scientology church, and away from all of Tom's bimbo girlfriends.
When Libs start wailing about a President's intelligence, you know we've got something good going on.
