Join Avaaz in going after Murdoch's reign of fear

[azul]

"But this is the tip of the iceberg -- Murdoch is a global problem. He's famous for dictating editorial positions to his papers. He corrupts and controls democracies by pushing politicians to back his extremist ideas on war, torture and a host of other planetary ills, and destroying the careers of politicians with smear campaigns unless they do his bidding. In the US, he helped elect George W. Bush and has most of the Republican presidential candidates actually on his payroll (see sources below). His Fox News Network spread lies to promote the war in Iraq, pushed resentment of Muslims and immigrants and spawned the right-wing tea party. Maybe worst of all, he has helped block critical global action on climate change.

Murdoch's reign of fear is breaking down, and many are on the edge of speaking out against his tactics. The dam is about to break in the US, Australia and elsewhere, but we need to give it an urgent push by investigating Murdoch further, organising high profile opposition, and making sure that our politicians pass laws that will clean up our media for good. Let's make it happen together:"

1. Whether you believe in God, Karma, whatever, I think there is a

higher power at work here. So deserving.

9. Life is not fair, and karma is legacy, not specific to one lifetime

but let justice prevail!

Side note: in the West we tend to think of Karma as a kind of justice -- each person reaping what they sow within their own lifetime. But the concept of Karma actually seeks to explain the perceived INJUSTICE of our lives. The Buddha says:

"All living beings have actions (Karma) as their own, their inheritance, their congenital cause, their kinsman, their refuge. It is Karma that differentiates beings into low and high states."

In Buddhism the concept of Karma is tied in with reincarnation, luck and destiny.

2. I'm sure he won't go without a fight, so now is the moment

to go after him and as one British blogger said, 'drive the stake through the heart of the Empire and then put it in a lead coffin and bury it' because if we 'if you don't destroy it completely, it will return, rebuild and this opportunity will pass for decades more to come'.

I'm lovin' it :popcorn: :rofl:

Rachel is about to show Fox's lack of coverage

4. How can it report about itself when it is a known liar?

Anything it says will be wrong, lies, so it is probably in its best interests to just be silent, and miss the biggest story of the year.

Made their own bed...

5. THey merely obfuscated and turning hacking into a problem forgetting

that they were the hackers.

6. Oh, the pretended innocence, but still accurately reporting the news posture.

Their audience can only take so much before they crack-up. Maybe their own story will be the catalyst.
