But get ready for the encore. Murdoch, already the world's most powerful media mogul, is about to acquire DirecTV, the world's second-largest satellite network. The $6.6 billion purchase would give the Aussie multibillionaire the U.S. platform he has been seeking for years to distribute Fox news and entertainment.

WWWAAAAAAAHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

We get to watch, participate by viewing and in general add to the destruction of CNNNBCABCCBSPBS, not to mention liberal pukes and the demise of the RAT party.

Mad Max-ine Waters was foaming at the mouth at Murdoch the other day. He's got her soiling her drawers in FEAR. Comin' atcha Maxy, thru your freakin' sattelite dish.

HAHAHAHAHAHhahahaha

Murdoch and the jacka$$ commentators on FOX news and entertainment are digging their own grave. Britt et al, are an embarassment, slobbering for war, preaching for blind obedience.

Heheheh. I bought NewsCorp stock right after the re-opening of Wall Street in the wake of September 11. My broker thought I was a bit emotional.

Heheheh.

Great, when Fox obtains Direct Tv and makes it competitive to Dish. I will switch.

The Fox entertainment shows are kicking butt on the regular nets. The regular nets are pushing Diversity, PC crap and DNC mantras on most of their shows. People don't want that stuff. West Wing is prime example of left wing DNC mantras, and it apparently is losing big time. It couldn't happpen to a more deserving cast from Sheen on down.

Direct tv will smash the cable companies who only show CNN and not Fox news. My local cable company still doesn't carry Fox News due to the left winger in the county and in control of the cable. I left them going four years and went to Dish. That was a great move on my part.

No wonder the talentless ones in Follywood hate America and GW. Their cash cows are drying up!

Please pass the popcorn and beer Bob. This is going to be a great spring, summer fall and winter. Then 2004 will be even better for us.

You can go on home to your DU scum slum now Eye. Britt, et al are light years ahead of the DU/DNC Stalinist networks you must prefer. And as for digging their own grave, you musta missed the part about them crushing CNN in the ratings.

Go on home now and wail, moan and gnash your teeth.

"The average CNN viewer drops in for 10 minutes and leaves; the average Fox viewer hangs around for 20 to 25 minutes."

You mean they switch as quick as they can. Run Run run away from the liberal bias media news stations.

Apparently you do not read other replies. Not only do I not agree with you, I put my money where my mouth is.

I am a shareholder in Newscorp, and proudly so. Brit Hume is the best journalist on television.

Now slink back to DU.

Have you ever heard Britt oppose the Bush administration, or demand Constitutional government?

yes and no (it's not a journalist's job to demand Constitutional government). Who do you watch?

Bob, you mentioned something I have been thinking lately.

President Bush's successes and the attendant whining from the left have become FUN. I am constantly fascinated with how the "dumb cowboy" always manages to outmaneuver the slick pros inside the Beltway and the Euoweenies. Chirac and Schroeder don't look so smart right now, do they?

In addition, it is my considered belief that most of the things that we see in attacks on the President are instigated by the Clinton Mob, so it is even more gleeful to me knowing that those creeps have to keep going back to the drawing board.

President Bush has brough actual joy back into public life, as demonstrated by his carrier landing. We haven't seen that in a very, very long time. It is great fun!

Brit Hume is on television, he is not a journalist, he is a mouthpiece.

People are emotionally invested in this country and conservative principles, and Fox, talk radio, (and FR!) are the vehicles we use to connect. They are more than passive entertainment for the true conservative who cares. They are addictions.
