We need more non-profit news sources and the BBC is one of them, it about time the media was taken control by BBC-style companies

The problem with your socialist view of the world (assuming you do actually believe what you say and aren't making it up) is that you see people as passive and that they need to be spoon fed your twisted version of reality.
The reason that Murdoch is successful is not because of some crazy mind control that he has over people. Break it down to the basic level and then you see that his organisations deliver exactly what people want in a format that they want. He isn't subliminally controlling the masses - he is simply giving them exactly what they want through his outlets.
If people didn't want it they wouldn't have it. The problem with your world view is that you can't place the responsibility at the individual. If people wanted better news they would vote with their feet and get it.
