more reason to never ever go to sky

Re: Rupert Murdoch's finally gets his hand on Sky
 

It was sadly inevitable that this nefarious man would get his full hands on Sky sooner rather then later.:(

Surely you mean "get his full hands back on SKY"

Re: Rupert Murdoch's finally gets his hand on Sky
 

Yes teacher.;):D

Re: Rupert Murdoch's finally gets his hand on Sky
 

I wonder if somebody could explain to me why this is a problem? :shrug:

Re: Rupert Murdoch's finally gets his hand on Sky
 

Not especially a problem. One person owning so much of the media can obviously be a problem but Sky is much more of a entertainment company and there are restrictions on television news here. We also have the BBC as a counterweight.

Re: Rupert Murdoch's finally gets his hand on Sky
 

And Cable Forum :).

Re: Rupert Murdoch's finally gets his hand on Sky
 

Well some would say that the BBC is far too powerful in the news department and needs a real counterweight. Murdoch could provide that balance.

Re: Rupert Murdoch's finally gets his hand on Sky
 

Are we talking about the unbiased left wing leaning BBC news department?

Re: Rupert Murdoch's finally gets his hand on Sky
 

They deserve Fox news. :D

Perhaps one should remind you that this is the man who was owner of News International who were deeply involved in the phone hacking scandal as the odorous stench from that and what he clearly knew and let happen for many many years is still very very clear in my mind.

Re: Rupert Murdoch's finally gets his hand on Sky
 

I will remind you that NO successful prosecutions resulted.

Re: Rupert Murdoch's finally gets his hand on Sky
 

Indeed but the odorous stench and nefariousness of this man has not gone away old bean.

Re: Rupert Murdoch's finally gets his hand on Sky
 

Are you really so naive that you think that the then owner of News International actually knew what each individual Editor of each newspaper was doing to generate income for each one?

Owners of multi facted newspapers look at one thing only, just like heads of multi corporations. The headline figures provided by the bean counters.

If it ain't making a profit, get rid of it!
