I learned on Le Show this week that Rupert Murdoch isn't taking sides in the Italian elections because he only owns T.V. interests there and he has to be fair with T.V.
Yep. I ain't lyin'. Here's the money quote:
I believe that in TV one is using a public licence to disseminate the news and it is important that you should remain absolutely fair. If I were publishing a newspaper or magazine here I would consider that quite differently.
Oh... right... you all know he owns Fox News right? Yep, the same Fox News who are the *only* people in any form of journalism calling the Valerie Plame outing the criminalization of politics.
And as an aside to the Fox News employees: If you guys mean the introduction of crime to politics then I suppose I agree with you. However, I believe you are trying to say about this treason case that it is making politics criminal. Yeah... No.
