Period.<br /><br />Once they're gone, one of his major nazi propaganda sources is gone. Then he'll be stuck with TV only, and as Fox News has shown, YankOz hysteria doesn't come over too well in the visual medium. And any lies it peddles are soon exposed by social media, which he can't control. Hence, for example, Zelo Street.<br /><br />Long term, the writing's on the wall for thugs like Murdoch. And it's written in large brown letters in his boxies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-57859540030660503502015-07-12T16:57:50.674+01:002015-07-12T16:57:50.674+01:00Murdoch is not doing the Tories dirty work for him...Murdoch is not doing the Tories dirty work for him. The Tories are doing Murdochs. <br /><br />What could any party do to ensure Murdochs services at election time, other than destroy the BBC? What do you think he asks in return for the constant attacks on one party over another?<br /><br />The BBC represents the biggest rival to his TV empire and so he wants it gone. The saddest thing is that the people who bleat the loudest about getting rid of it are the same people who bleat about immigration and European regulations. <br /><br />They are quite content to follow non-doms such as Murdoch and the Barclay brothers in calling for the destruction of one of the last Great British institutions. And the bulk of independent media - especially talk radio where the presenters are bitter that they don't have a BBC job - are happy to throw in their 2 cents worth. <br /><br />People get angry that the government sells off nationalized industry, but seem completely clueless to the fact that political parties will harass and defund the BBC as payment for political support. It is bad enough to see things like the post office sold at a fraction of their worth, but to see the BBC vandalized to boost a governments unofficial campaign is an utter disgrace. <br /><br />I have read elsewhere that the government has a plan to remove the BBC trust and see the broadcasters output perused for content and bias by an appointed body. We can guess which programming will be cancelled or deliberately delayed for review - and we have to realize that while a government censor is tearing through a story looking for problems, the rest of the media will be tipped off so that they can run a counter story and head off any scandal. <br /><br />That is when we will be able to stop referring to the BBC as a Great British institution and start calling it State TV.Welladriansaysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-86983571224640118812015-07-12T12:00:51.602+01:002015-07-12T12:00:51.602+01:00With regards to advertising, indeed, as the London...With regards to advertising, indeed, as the London Evening Standard has shown (and I used to work for them), The cover price barely covers the cost of collecting it. Advertising revenue covers nearly all of a paper's costs, and when that goes, so does the newspaper. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
