A criminal with(out) a cause

The Fall of the House of Murdoch

Virtually all media owners seek power and pelf through their alliances with politicians. Neocon Rupert Murdoch—in Australia, the UK, and the US—has been particularly successful at it. What is most shameful is his constant promotion of state power and murderous wars. Now, with the arrest of Rebekah Brooks, this titanic, intra-power elite struggle will bring down James Murdoch, and perhaps Rupert too, at least as head of the company. BTW, this is not unusual wrongdoing suddenly discovered. It is one part of the establishment destroying another. Tory PM David Cameron, a wholly owned subsidiary of Murdoch, may be done too. Tony Blair was owned by Murdoch, as well, so this is bipartisan. As Bill Anderson notes, the firm is in trouble for eavesdropping, which most people think is fine if Murdoch's crooked pols and cops are doing it.
