Exactly. I mean, the definition of "rape" includes rape with a foreign object. For all we know he could still be sodomizing little boys with kitchen gadgets.

Any other stupid accusations?

FBI launches 9/11 phone hacking case against Rupert Murdoch's News Corp
Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp empire was rocked last night after the FBI opened an investigation into claims his company hacked into the phones of 9/11 victims.

Link to paper not owned by Rup so it must be a smear

I think it's unfair to implicate rupert directly - like a lot of evil organizations he's just the guy who got it started, and right now he doesn't know any more about what goes on from day to day than any other addled old geezer.

He just put a system in place that incentivizes this sort of behavior.

Maybe having Fox fall off the face of the earth is just a leftist wet dream - but even so, I reserve the right to wake up with a big wet spot on the front of my boxers.

Doubt it and even if it were, it doesn't kill the market for their news. Some smart investor would just pick up where they left off.

But yea, I have a hard time caring too much about this story since I'm sure all our major media conglomerates do this. We already know our governments do, they're just protecting our freedoms tho so nothing to worry about.

I wouldn't mind Fox News as long as Murdoch didn't own it. He's a weasel.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
actually that is a strong possibility.
Foxnews is a viable entity someone will run it.
the nypost on the other hand will collapse if taken off Murdoch life support.
:cry:

Wishful thinking. Fox News is a profitable business. It is not going away.

When it looses its sponsors maybe it will go away.

Never mind him. He's been brainwashed. People who watch Fox News have extremist, anti-American, fascist views.

Yeah those cartalk guy

Last Saturday, Click and Clack told us how to make a car bomb, to blow up Conservative neighborhoods. I tried to take good notes.

And, Mid Day Mozart--if you record some of those sonatas, and then play them backwards, you can actually hear anti-Fox News messages.

That's how I found out that Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly are gay.

In Inayaya's upsidedown world Ira Glass is a hatemonger and Glenn Beck is a reasonable man.

You call that tolerance and nonpartisan?

NPR public radio* producer Sarah Spitz, by contrast, used the list only to express her desire to murder a single beige person — or rather merely watch him die of a heart attack:

Quote:

. . .Spitz wrote that she would “Laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out” as Limbaugh writhed in torment.

In boasting that she would gleefully watch a man die in front of her eyes, Spitz seemed to shock even herself. “I never knew I had this much hate in me,” she wrote. “But he deserves it.”

(Digression: It is fine not to be a fan of Rush Limbaugh’s radio show, but for pete’s sake, liberals, enough with the death wishes. Do you think any mainstream conservative writer has, even in e-mail, fantasized about being complicit in the death of Keith Olbermann or Michael Moore?* Heck, I’ve never even had a single nutty reader indulge in that in an e-mail. Seriously, leave Rush alone. The left is at its best when it’s less “And I hope that you die / And your death’ll come soon / I will follow your casket / In the pale afternoon” and more “What’s so funny ’bout peace love and understanding?” End digression.)

Or how about what Sarah Spitz wrote?

I think you may want to retract what you just said JakobVirgil.

@ YippySkippy

While there may be 1 program on NPR that you like, my beef with them is that they get taxpayer money and use our tax money to support a political party.

Yeah that one incident where a single person in the NPR organization said something mean about the de-facto head of the republican party just tears it.

Did you watch the video of Nina Totenberg wishing someone's grandkids gets AIDs and dies?

Sure didn't.

So that's two incidents. Sounds like a pattern to me.
