This means that the places with one newspaper only (60-70% of the population) are being told that Murdoch is a hero in his fight against the British Government whilst glossing over the real facts regarding the scandals he is responsible for. That is why I don't read the Canberra Times bar the sports scores anymore.

The News of the World phone hacking problem brought Murdoch before British Parliament, and a critic with a cream pie was expecting him. But the actual news was the woman in Murdoch's corner. Wendi Deng, 42, launched an urgent counter-offensive against the man who would smear her spouse in his darkest time. Over the backs of viewers, Deng swatted at the cream pie bandit, gaining her the title “Tiger Mom” in the press. Here is the proof: Tiger Mom Wendi Deng smacks down Murdoch cream pie assailant.

i wonder how fox news is covering this one... oh wait, they aren't. I think this scandal has pretty much put proof to our arguments from a couple of months ago. Corrupt bastards the lot.

If you control the flow and the slant of information, you control a hell of a lot, especially if you control as many information outlets as Rupert Murdoch.
There is no such thing as a true democracy. There is:
Oligarchy = a form of government in which all power is vested in a few persons or in a dominant class or clique; government by the few.
and
Plutocracy = the rule of wealth
Canada's not perfect either. Far from it. But we do have a better sense of identifying left and right. In the US, media do a very influential job convincing people that centrist positions are far left wing positions. And as most people are not able to discern for themselves what is opinion and what is fact (sadly so), we have a very troubled national problem. I'm not trying to bash my american counterparts here, its a big problem in Canada as well, and in any country where media have a tremendous influence on the way we think. People just aren't able to "problematize" and question the information, we don't learn how.

I've noticed a difficulty with the overrepresentation of the right as far right in Canada.
Funny thing is...the right of Canada is still farther to the left of the American left.

Funny thing is...the right of Canada is still farther to the left of the American left. very true. the democrats of today would be nearly all considered moderate conservatives during reagan's day. the republicans would have been considered so far to the right they'd be sharing company with the john birch society nutcases.
