Murdoch backs Bush to win (Surprise, surprise, surprise!!!)

[Purveyor]

April 7, 2004

<snip>
Mr Murdoch said the American people strongly supported President Bush's efforts in Iraq and the resurging US economy.

"They're with him on that, completely. He's going to walk it (the election) in," Mr Murdoch told Sydney radio 2GB.

"The economy's doing extremely well and there is an international crisis.

"And the Australian government stood absolutely firm with them. This country's got no alternative, it must stand with America."

[nonbelief]

18. He's no Alien

As soon as you get over that pathetic chauvinistic phrase and accept that Rupert Murdoch is 100% American, the sooner you can fight him rationally.

He's an American, not an Australian.

He's yours, not mine. His culture is yours, not Australia's.

22. I saw the Murdoch family first hand.. and it wasn't pretty!

I worked at a tv station that was bought out, by him, for his daughter and her boyfriend. They pretty much fired most everyone, ran it into the ground.. then sold it. Priveleged no-nothings.

I would cancel it and go with Dish.
