You could have used another half hour about how Murdoch is gearing up to make a splash on the internet. We can only hope that as Mr. Murdoch grows older and stares at the face of mortality, he will use his power and wealth to become a tireless philanthropist instead of capitalists. Carnagie, Rockefeller and others were ruthless for most of their life but they changed their ways when up against the unknown. Guilt has a way of catching up with all of us. A lot of good could come of his money.
Pirates steal and are sadistic.
Murdoch has time and again demonstrably given the public what it wants and has taken unprecedented risks in the process. One may find his methods journalistically impure and most tasteless. Do remember, though, that Shakespeare's audience was also the lowest common denominator. Sad to see someone like Rupert Murdoch get so much attention. The only thing I am afraid of is that good old Rupert and others like him will continue to abuse our resources, human and otherwise.
