Is Rupert Murdoch a fanatic?

[Must_B_Free]

I have heard it said that he is religious and a fanatic in terms of wanting to literally fulfill scripture. Is there any link that can confirm this?

What is known about this American Facists who has poisoned the discourse?

1. He is proof that you dont need to be smart

to be rich.

2. I just don't understand

these billionaire cutthroats who are fundies. They must have no concept of dissonance.

3. Australian

Not born American. I understand Newt Gingrich gained "special permission" for Rupert to buy into American media, thus the multi-millions Getrich was to get for his book.

Rupert Born 1931 three years older than 180 and I do not feel so good myself.

This too will end.

11. He acquired American citizenship sometime in the 1980s

For the sole purpose of getting around the media ownership laws. These people owe no fealty to any flag or country but rather to their own corporate interests.

12. I used the same line about a year ago ...

and my post was deleted. I certainly don't intend to alert the mods, but I will be curious to see what happens. We've gotten awfully "civil" around here.

10. he's amoral..only interest is making money

got Margaret Thatcher to change monopoly laws in UK so he could buy The Sun & Telegraph in exchange for editorial support..same in the USA..dominates media in Australia were every government must cowtow to him.
His son James said at recent UK board meeting..he and father have no problem dealing with totalitarian China if it leads to profits.

Latest biographer who worked for him for many years describes him as 'demonic'

13. just like the rest of corporate America...

I heard a disturbing statistic from Bill Maher's show... of the 538 top corporations, 60% have been convicted of a crime... just convicted... that doesn't count the criminals who haven't been caught.

14. Rupert Murdoch is PUBLIC ENEMY #1

as far as we Democrats are concerned. If you don't know who this guy is, then get your ass out of this website and do some internet research on him. He owns FOX "news". All of the other things written about him in this post are true too. Australian citizen, changed his citizenship to avoid American law, used his right wing connections to help monopolize the media when he can.
Learn everything you can about this guy!
Learn it now!

15. Huge backer of PNAC

Kristol edits his 'Standard', and he strongly supports the 'Neo-Cons'.

I'd rate him as our most dangerous export.
