the effect of Murdoch's media be studied and mediated if necessary.

So they haven't banned him yet, but it looks like they will take steps against him in the future. And hopefully they'll provide a blueprint for the UK and the USA to do the same.

Wasn't that the thread that was circulating on DU the other day?

All of my friends and relatives in other countries are constantly sending me videos of their citizens dancing in the streets. I really had no idea how invested they felt!

lol...... I'm literally lol'ing as I write this

On a related note, while in the Army I was on the Nijmegan march team and while doing that met some ANZAC special forces guys. These men were hilarious ...... plus when they found out that our team was made up of truck drivers (yeah, truck drivers up against some of the toughest boys around lol) they bought ALL the beer. Anyway, they have a way with words and phrases down under for sure.

Aussies can really be funny. If you ever have a chance to watch The Adventures Of Barry MacKenzie, do so. It's the story of an Australian rake's progress through London.
