To begin with, how is any HONEST newsprint suppose to compete with criminals?
AND.
WHY does the GOP commingle their politics with a media service that has a strong criminal undercurrent in their management.
Is anyone worried about national security when it comes to Murdoch's media?
LONDON: A former “News of the World” executive was paid (click title to entry - thank you) more than £25,000 by the paper's publisher during his time at Scotland Yard, a report said on Saturday.

The Murdochs have tried to say each element of their media empire is separate and different from the others. I don't think so. From the story in NYC and now the FACT about London there seems to be a systemic understanding that 'snooping, bargaining, hacking and bribing' is all a matter of policy. Understood or written there is a culture within this media that is corrupt.
I dare anyone to look at long established media that actually FAVORS a religion, a set of values and enforces it WITH INTENT.
Murdoch is about power, not about information and if no one can see that, then I don't how much clearer it has to be.
