Sou Caro DeMint on MTP says Murdoch and his companies should NOT be investigated. Could there be any more reason to get the investigations moving forward as quickly as possible?

I don't know what that propoganda you keep talking about is. Maybe you could go to dictionary like old Savoir does and get me a definition.

Being left with CNN and the big 3 would be ok with me. I just wouldn't have to watch any of the political news since CNN doesn't do a very good job of it without their bias.

Kudos! You just described the relationship between Obama and PMSNBC, CBS, ABC, AP, CNN, NPR. If you don't realize that, then you must have been overloading on kool-aide.

I don't know about Fox News in particular, but things are looking increasingly worse for News Corp - more to the point, News International - in general. The Head of the Met has just resigned over this scandal.

If you liberal idiots get Fox News kicked off the air what are you going to watch?
Is the agenda of the conservatives to wiretape and hack private phone conversations?
