It'd be very interesting to see google drop Australia. Watch us all start using duckduckgo. It'd be great if they did it. It's an election year and It'd be nice to see such a foolish move by our lazy government.

- stephen_g 6y agoFrom what I’ve read, apparently Rupert Murdoch still informs editors what direction to take on certain issues. But a lot of editors don’t need direct instruction all the time - I recall an interview - must have been an ex-editor of one of his papers who said they very quickly get into a pattern of thinking where their first thought on a story is “how would Rupert want this reported?”. So while he probably wasn’t directly involved, I’m sure he had very strong input on what direction the people leading the lobbying effort should take. But even if he wasn’t, I’ve also heard the son who still works there (the one who didn’t quit in disgust over the organisation’s editorial direction) is just as bad...
