'The prospect of the U.S. government becoming directly involved in commercial journalism ought to be chilling for anyone who cares about freedom of speech.'

- RyanMcGreal 17y agoI live in that dreary, dystopian, socialist hinterland just to the north of the USA.[1] Up here, the government-owned CBC puts the commercial newsmedia utterly to shame, despite being starved for funding by our current neoconservative federal government. [1] Sarcasm.
- rayval 17y agoMurdoch puts up another fake bogeyman. Since when is anyone suggesting that US government get involved in commercial journalism? Just like the fake bogeyman of Google misappropriating his content when all News Corp has to do is take 20 seconds to edit the robots.txt file. Murdoch's statements are a textbook example of disinformation. And he wants the consumer to pay for this yellow journalism?
