Paying for Murdoch's propaganda - Jan Klimkowski - 06-08-2009 Quote:Rupert Murdoch plans charge for all news websites by next summer http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/aug/06/rupert-murdoch-website-charges Paying for Murdoch's propaganda - Jan Klimkowski - 06-08-2009 Quote:Rupert Murdoch said quality journalism is not cheap Oh the irony. Quote:He accepted that there could be a need for furious litigation to prevent stories and photographs being copied elsewhere: "We'll be asserting our copyright at every point." It's possible to copyright pornography and disinformation? Wow. I learn something new from the Dirty Digger every day. I wondered where to put this thread, and decided "Propaganda" was the appropriate folder for the godfather of Faux News. Paying for Murdoch's propaganda - Magda Hassan - 06-08-2009 Well, the company is not called News LIMITED for nothing. Paying for Murdoch's propaganda - Mark Stapleton - 07-08-2009 Calling Murdoch the dirty digger is a bit misleading. While he loves war (well there's so much money in it), he would never become a participant himself. He leaves that to others. Pay money to read journalists reflect Murdoch's extremely sick view of the world? Don't think so. I can get the sport and weather elsewhere. Paying for Murdoch's propaganda - Peter Lemkin - 07-08-2009 Maybe one of the more stock-market saavy here can invent futures in Propaganda and we can all get rich, as there will be a boom market, I'm sure!

While he loves war (well there's so much money in it), he would never become a participant himself. He leaves that to others. I agree. It's also arguably a slur on Australians. However, the phrase originated with the English satirical magazine, Private Eye, because, after buying The Sun, central to Murdoch's strategy to sell newspapers to working class Brits was putting photographs of topless women on Page 3. Quote:Murdoch told the staff that he wanted the Sun to focus on ‘sex, sports and contests’, a mission translated in the satirical paper Private Eye as ‘a tear away appear with a lot of tit’. Private Eye labeled Murdoch ‘the Dirty Digger’, well before the paper’s launch in 1970 of a regular feature, which continues to this day: a photograph of a naked woman on page three. As recently as October 2002, the Sun was congratulating itself on the emergence of a Sun-look alike in Moscow (dubbed inevitably, the Sun-ski) complete with page three ‘lovelies’. The Sun’s page three girl has also made a successful move to the paper’s website. http://runningbetweenthewickets.blogspot.com/2008/07/when-celebrities-try-to-make-it-in-nick.html Paying for Murdoch's propaganda - Mark Stapleton - 08-08-2009 Jan Klimkowski Wrote:Mark Stapleton Wrote:Calling Murdoch the dirty digger is a bit misleading. While he loves war (well there's so much money in it), he would never become a participant himself. He leaves that to others. Interesting. Murdoch had a similar strategy here. I remember when the Murdoch's Daily Mirror, a Sydney newspaper, had the page 3 girl as a regular feature. It lasted through to the mid 1980's I think. He'll leave a legacy of editorial interference, dubious political alliances, advocacy of war, tax avoidance and tits. Paying for Murdoch's propaganda - Jack White - 08-08-2009 Remember that Murdoch (who hides that he is half Jewish) came to power as a CIA asset during the Nugan Hand Bank scandal. Jack Paying for Murdoch's propaganda - Charles Drago - 08-08-2009 "Murdoch told the staff that he wanted the Sun to focus on ‘sex, sports and contests.'" [emphasis added] America's commercial television networks -- broadcast and cable -- are now all but inundated by "American Idol"-like competitions. Or, as Murdoch would have it, "contests." I include in this category the "Real Housewives" series that dominates cable's Bravo channel -- originally offered as a PBS-like home for independent and classic films and other fine and performing arts programming, now reduced to catfights and caterwauling. [Memo to my agent: "The Real Housewives of the Warsaw Ghetto" -- Watch as five jaunty Jewess jigglers fight tooth and nail over who makes the best rat-tatouie, who's been sleeping with Fritz the sentry, and who gets to keep their children alive." Appointment TV -- in the bunker that is the American heartland.] "Contests" are all about picking sides and obliterating the competition, amassing toys and other trophies, and abandoning all scruples in the mad race to acquire. "Contests" are all about differentiating between "them" and "us," and demonizing "them." Consumerism does what its name tells us it does. It consumes. Everything and everyone.

It's consumed the minds of the current generation. I'm sad for them. |
