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

Re: Rupert Murdoch's finally gets his hand on Sky
I wonder if somebody could explain to me why this is a problem?

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.

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.

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

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.

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!
