How is it that the business tycoon whose most biting condemnation of anyone - union leaders, consumer activists, or any other political opponents - is "THAT PERSON IS A COMMUNIST!" gets a FREE PASS for going to Communist China to curry favor with the Communist ruling party and to strike business deals with the family and friends of those rulers?
Welcome to the INSTITUTIONAL BIASES of the American corporate media, where Bill Clinton having consensual sex with a grown woman is labeled, by millions of Americans (Clinton haters) as 'proof' of his being 'a rapist', yet when Catholic Church authorities have been proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, to have harbored child-RAPING priests, the term "rape" is forbidden, VERBOTTEN, from the clean white pages of "major media" discourse.
This is but ONE example of how the corporate 'major media' uses WORDS to justify AUTHORTARIAN, concentration-of-wealth and -power policies, and how they use confusing, indirect, and 'soft' words to describe Republican crimes ("abuse" to mean "torture" or rape; "controversial" to mean illegal wiretaps; "conflicting stories" to mean perjurous testimony and BOLD FACED LIES; "refusing to answer a subpoenae" to mean OBSRTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, etc, etc, etc ad infinitum) while using the harshest language possible, or most demeaining story lines, to deride Democratic candidates and leaders.

FOX News's Rupert Murdoch and His Love of War

Few people appear to be more enthusiastic about the senseless loss of the lives of young American military members, than does the Australian-born Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch, of course, is the owner of News Corp, which includes the Republican propaganda brands FOX News, the New York Post and soon, sadly, The Wall Street Journal.
It must be a wonderfully easy and pleasing existence for Murdoch. Much like the extremist Republican politicians he loves to support, Bush and Cheney most especially, Murdoch doesn't have any skin in the Iraq War disaster. Instead, he gets to sit upon the comfortable and safe throne of his multi-billion dollar media-corporation and egg on eggheads and their eggheaded policies of mass death and destruction. Indeed, what does FOX News's Murdoch care? He has the best seat in the house from which to watch the bombs fall and he never has to worry about blood being spattered on his fancy European-tailored suits.
It should be noted, however, that outside of Bush and Cheney, no person has more Iraqi blood on his hands than does Rupert Murdoch.
Yes, Rupert Murdoch's favorite pastime, perhaps, outside of beloved Cricket or rugby, is employing his vast media empire in a never-ending game of rah-rah cheerleading the Iraq disaster forever forward...forever and ever without end, amen!
To achieve this goal, he has employed the quasi-journalistic talents of Brit Hume and single-handedly created careers for some of America's loudest-mouthed Goebbels-like fascist Republican propagandists. That is to say, Murdoch gave legitimacy to corporate despotism and Christian theocracy via the employment of Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Neil Cavuto, and John Gibson. Were they not war mongering cheerleaders of the first order, Murdoch would have no use for these fools and they'd soon find themselves relegated to the obscurity to which their talent qualifies them.
Murdoch loves war, because he loves the possibilities inherent within an oligarchy. War and its carnage may not be the thing that gives Murdoch a stiffy as only a double dose of Viagra can give him nowadays, but he does love the notion of corporations ruling world governments. Yes, that makes Rupert Murdoch's manhood stand proud and nothing serves the oligarchy better, nothing is more profitable than war...so Rupie's FOX News cheers on!
Rupert Murdoch may have acquired U.S. citizenship so that he could break into the lucrative American media market, but he still clings to the Australian loyalists' dreams of a royalty-like elitist class ruling the world. Oh, maybe nobody will agree to place the Queen on this global throne, but how can they halt the crowning of the Corporatist King? The corporatists make the world go-round! They are the new master at whose feet the people must be made prostrate. And by God! War and all the money it creates and all the emotion it can engender among the people ... carefully tweaked, of course, and made to turn one against the other - that is how Rupert Murdoch envisions the crowning of the Oligarchy. That is why Rupert Murdoch loves war.
Indeed, that is why the Australian-born Rupert Murdoch is so enthusiastic about the senseless loss of the lives of young American military members. It is with their blood that the likes of Rupert Murdoch, George W. Bush, and Dick Cheney intend to seal the oligarchical covenant. It is with their blood that Rupert Murdoch hopes to write the world's next dark chapter.
That is why FOX News assails all who dare question the Iraq War. Murdoch, like Bush, wants to see America's young men and women stuck in Iraq's quagmire until "victory" is secured. And, of course, the hope for victory has long since disappeared. But Rupert knows that as much as Bush does ... they don't really want victory. They want a war that lasts forever - a war through which they can all be made uber-wealthy corporate Kings.
