I'm amazed anyone still pays for it. It's available free (so I hear).

Rupert Murdoch is not a conservative, nor are his media holdings (at least those I am familiar with) "conservative" in any sense of the word. Fox News may seem conservative in comparison to the major networks, but that's only in a relative sense. And the NY Post is a big-government rag whose advertisements (particularly in the sports section) look like they belong in Hustler magazine.

All cable and satellite companies carry adult content - there is a huge demand for it. This is pretty much a non-story.

Speaking of it, I know hotels make a lot of their money through porn. Something they will not admit to. Even the family friendly ones.

Every day a larger proportion of commercials aired on my G rated satellite channels during prime time are unfit for child consumption. Soft porn seems to be spreading like wildfire.

Murdoch has never been a white knight in shining armor. He's just not a dedicated, 24-7 leftist like most of the rest of them.

Porn is left wing. Tobacco is right wing. Notice if it is right wing the left wing taxes the hell out of it. I no fan of porn, but I wish the idiot politicians would tax porn like they tax alcohol and tobacco.

I personally know of only a single case where a person has successfully lobbied a newspaper to eliminate salacious ads in a newspaper. A number of letters were written to the publisher, to no avail. But after this person wrote letters to
other advertisers in the newspaper and asked them if they were marketing their products/services to the kind of customer base who frequents strip joints and calls phone sex lines, the salacious ads disappeared.
I realize that Corporate America has its own flaws, but if a newspaper gets a call from IBM, Colgate-Palmolive or the Ford Motor Co. expressing concern about X-rated ads that appear next to theirs, you can be damn sure that the newspaper will take those corporate giants over a local strip club any day of the week.

This reminds me of a funny line I once heard some comedian say: "I can't be a Democrat because I like to keep all the money I earn. But I can't be a Republican because I like to spend it on porn and drugs."

Also, James Dobson had a hotel chain CEO on his show that took all porn out of their hotels.

Be careful, you'll be bashed for not professing an undying allegiance to Faux News.
