Dottie Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 From what I understand, Rupert Murdoch is all about making money, not about what his politics are. I think he is a liberal? Quote
Moderators Bravus Posted July 16, 2011 Moderators Posted July 16, 2011 I think he's almost apolitical, but has aimed to offer red meat to conservatives everywhere for mercenary motives. Can't speak for laz, but it's not the 'wrong' politics of his media I hope will be corrected, it's the actual deception. Quote Truth is important
LifeHiscost Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 I also heard that FoxNews is involved some how! Not sure if that's right or not?? Despite the caveat, someone will pick this up and run with it as an established fact. So what's new? God blesses! Quote Lift Jesus up!!
Members phkrause Posted July 16, 2011 Members Posted July 16, 2011 Despite the caveat, someone will pick this up and run with it as an established fact. So what's new? God blesses! Nothing new, was just wondering if anyone had heard this, or did the news just combine them all in one lump. If I'm not mistaken they mentioned something about all the political people that fox had hired! So I wasn't quite sure if this was all one news piece or two separate issues. Like I said had heard all this together. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
Moderators lazarus Posted July 17, 2011 Author Moderators Posted July 17, 2011 In the meantime, James Murdoch signed cheques for between £800,000 and £1 million to Gordon Taylor, the chief executive of the Professional Footballers’ Association, and Max Clifford, the publicist, which critics say effectively bought their silence. Mr Murdoch said last week that he would not have signed the cheques if he had known then what he knows now. He, Mrs Brooks and Mr Hinton have denied any knowledge of widespread wrongdoing. In a series of further developments, The Sunday Telegraph can also disclose today: • James Murdoch’s position as chairman of BSkyB is under review after the board agreed a special session to discuss his future. • Leading shareholders are calling on News Corp, the parent company, to sell its British newspaper titles because of fears the scandal will spread to America. • Rupert Murdoch’s bid to purchase Formula One could also be derailed, according to Bernie Ecclestone, the sport’s supremo. • Lawyers acting for David Beckham have contacted police, in the growing belief that the footballer and his wife, Victoria, were targeted by Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator who worked for the News of the World. Sir Paul McCartney’s press aides claimed they were also hacked at the time of the former Beatle’s split from his second wife. • Jude Law, the actor, was allegedly hacked by the News of the World while visiting the US, opening the way for prosecutions in America where News Corp has most to lose. • Andy Coulson dined with the senior police chief investigating the phone hacking of Prince William in 2006 in the middle of the inquiry. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/p...rt-Murdoch.html Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.

Yup, folks are missing the point if they think this is about politics. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/daniel...s-are-tumbling/ First Parliament, then Fleet Street, now the police. We used to take for granted, if not always the integrity, then at least the independence of these bodies. The House of Commons, we told ourselves, was not some servile Continental legislature: it was there to hold ministers to account. Nor were our newspapers mouthpieces of the ruling faction, nor our policemen agents of the government. The vertiginous events of the past fortnight, culminating in the arrest of Rebekah Brooks and the resignation of Sir Paul Stephenson, have left people shaken and angry. To the extent that any coherent image has formed, it is of a cabal of newspaper executives, police chiefs and politicians conspiring against the public weal.

Moderators lazarus Posted July 19, 2011 Author Moderators Posted July 19, 2011 Watching Rupert Murdoch right now. I think at the very least Rupert Murdoch will probably step down. He seems not to have a clue! It's sad. In fact it's embarrassing. Painful to watch. Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.

LifeHiscost Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 We shouldn't expect any change at all in how news is reported. Other than perhaps there will be found more nefarius(sp)means to hide what temporarily causes inconvenience. God blesses! Quote Lift Jesus up!!
LifeHiscost Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I see your point and it IS well taken, some other paper will take it's place. But we still need to root out and take action against moral issues when we can. We KNOW a national Sunday is a done deal, it is coming, but we are still obligated to do what we can to stop it. Doing that sends a message, that we won't go beyond a certain line in the sand and it brings attention to the issue for people to make a choice. It's influence is similiar to our big name papers here is the point there. Perhaps in a different genre, but I know of two different channels (TV), one that focuses on ferreting out the deceptive practices inherent in the society we live in today, the other lifting up Jesus and His instruction on how He wishes me, first and foremost, and others to live. Somehow I come away feeling cleaner and more fulfilled when pursuing the goals of a righteous regard, rather than when shoveling out the slop that persists in today's world. God blesses!
