The point is they don't live 'WITH' reality, they demand to shape reality. That is NOT a news corporation, that is a political organziation with a global reach. Their goal is to be the only news SOURCE in the world. They want to put everyone else out of business and if the news organizations that exist continue to compete with these idiots they might succeed.
The point is what does one do if one really wants to know what is going on in the world?
You build your own infrastructure and that is what most of not all the intelligent world is doing. Heck, there are people that don't even own televisions anymore and get all their information from a web that 'live streams' most everything.
NewsCorp is OLD world, very, very Old World and for the SHEEP that follow along with it because of a 'feel good' felling it is completely laughable.
Murdoch cracks the whip and the world is suppose to respond. THAT's ethical? Right. If Cronkite were the 'ethic standard' for today's news media, Murdoch woiuld have been out of business a long time ago.
