Another conservative shows his colors. I'm constantly amused by the names Liberals are called ,by some here. We should all have the character of conservative  Rupert Murdock. :o Doesn't he own Fox News?? ;)

So exactly what was Mr. Murdock's great transgression?

What's the big deal, he closed the paper down for what it was doing and fired everyone.  No matter who runs a business or industry, there are going to be some bad apples who need to be fired.

Wow.  Do you guys really not know what's going on with Rupert, or are you just pretending to not know?

All his competitive news media outlets are making a more of this than need be.  He closed the paper down and fired everyone.  If I owned what he did, I couldn't keep up with everything going on.  It was not much more than a tabloid anyways.

I know what happened.  When you own as many news outlets you deligate authority down to the people running each outlet, as he did.  There was no way he could keep up with what each was doing, especially when they were keeping it quite, and denying anything asked about it.   Yes he is ultamatly responsable since he is the owner.  But he did what he should have done and fired the guilty people, and shut down the paper.  Too bad for the workers that had nothing to do with what was going on.  I have a feeling thisd was going on long before he bought the paper anyway.  To him it's just business, he does not know the nuts and bolts of what is going on, he just knows the top line (profit margin) that's his concern.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Sounds like he did the right thing.

There I linked it, makes this thread more understandable. It seems when someone has an agenda they will throw out a bone and not follow it with fact.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.
