POPSMurdoch: Beck Right on Omaba "Racist" This president, I think, has exposed himself as a guy, over and over and over again, who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture," Beck said. "I don't know what it is." "I'm not saying he doesn't like white people," Beck said. "I'm saying he has a problem. He has a -- this guy is, I believe, a racist." On Wednesday, a News Corp. spokesman stressed to Politico that Murdoch “does not at all, for a minute, think the president is a racist.” Watch the short video at source.

POPSGoogle says Murdoch stories can be taken off Rupert is really struggling with the concept that he doesn't control the world. How many people who buy his newspapers are computer literate eg the laptop (with access to most news sources) on the train, or the newspaper on the train?

POPSCriticizing Fox News isn't "Nixonian." But Fox News is
In a sense, Fox News Channel has never been able to overcome its nature as the offspring of Ailes, notoriously one of the angriest, toughest Republican consultants in politics, and Rupert Murdoch, the ruthless mogul whose political abuse of his news outlets became legendary long before he entered the cable news business. The objective for Ailes, as for Murdoch, is not fairness or balance; the objective is always to win by whatever means necessary. That includes marketing himself and his employees as high-minded truth-seekers and innocent victims of snotty liberalism -- much in the mode of old Nixon. The list of similar offenses is almost endless and, as it grows every day, selecting the most egregious examples can be challenging. Back in 2004, the wife of Carl Cameron, the channel's top campaign reporter, worked in the Bush reelection campaign, and Cameron himself posted material mocking Democratic nominee John Kerry. Over the years, the channel's news director John Moody has sent d

POPSJeder ist sein eigener Chefredakteur
Social Media hat mich zum Chefredakteur gemacht. Und aus meinem Geschäft eine Nachrichtenagentur. Und zwar schon seit 3.1.1999, seitdem ich blogge. Dass das meinen Lesern gefällt, sehe ich daran, dass immer mehr zu Kunden werden. Ich empfehle jeden, die Geschichte über Michael Sprengelmeyer zu lesen. Im Prinzip ist jeder sein eigener Chefredakteur. Man braucht nur ein klares Konzept. Dann kann man kostspieliges, riskantes "Old-School-Marketing" durch "Social Media" ersetzen. Social Media macht mehr Spaß als Werbung, bringt automatisch mehr Nachfrage, führt schneller zu Aufträgen. Ich bin auf Ihre Meinung gespannt und freue mich über einen interessanten Austausch :-) Ihr Horst D. Deckert PS: Übrigens, einer meiner besten Freunde hat eine konkurrenzlose Print-Monatsfachzeitschrift mit Abonnenten fast zum Nulltarif übernommen. Was für den Verlag unwirtschaftlich war, wurde für ihn zur Goldgrube. Er macht ebenfalls alles selbst, bringt sie nur noch Online heraus

POPSFOX News is Un-American! The Newsweek article Doocy cites says that Rupert Murdoch is un-American for bringing the Australian-British-continental model of politicized media to the United States via Fox News. That's right, Newsweek is calling the very existence of Fox News un-American, not the White House for criticizing it.

POPSAIM’s Kincaid Urges Fox News to Quit Shilling for Terrorists and Cop-Killer Apologist
Kincaid will also press Murdoch and his board about the publication by Harper Collins of Mark Rudd's terrorist memoir, Underground: My Life With SDS and the Weathermen, about his days in the Weather Underground. Rudd has said he got a $50,000 advance and that while some went to his agent, "the rest went up my nose for coke..." One of the members of Murdoch's board is Professor Viet Dinh, a former Bush counter-terrorism official who had fled Vietnam as a child when Rudd's communist comrades took over South Vietnam in the wake of the U.S. military withdrawal. The meeting of News Corporation, the parent of Fox News and Harper Collins, will be held October 16 at 10 a.m. at the W New York Hotel, 541 Lexington Avenue. Accuracy in Media is a citizens' media watchdog organization whose mission is to promote fairness, balance, and accuracy in news reporting. Founded in 1969, AIM is the oldest non-profit press watchdog group in America. www.aim.org.

POPSRupert Murdoch say it's time for search giants to pay for content The Journal, which is owned by News Corp., already is the newspaper industry's most successful Internet subscription model, with more than 1 million customers who pay for online access. "When they talk about people linking to them as if they are stealing from them, it's like saying, 'How dare you sell my paper and make a penny along the way?'"

POPSNY Post Fires Editor Critical Of Racist Obama-Stimulus Cartoon "I think ever since then, she has been on their shit list and they were trying to look for a reason to get rid of her," said a Post employee "My whole thing is, she is not in charge of advertising. She is an associate editor. Whoever is in accounting or advertising should have been held accountable."

POPSFirst they came for Radio... now Cable ??? Wow, I thought cable was privately owned and not subject to regulation like the "Airwaves" of Radio & Broadcast Television... these people want to silence all opposition. I didn't agree with Beck's comment above, but he didn't say anything that you don't hear Al Sharpten say on an almost weekly basis (though not about Obama). The idea that they want to take away everyone's first amendment rights, by saying the "public trust of the cable spectrum" is being abused is appalling. Cable is Privately owned (at least for now!!) and no public spectrum is used - just the private networks owned by the various cable companies. That won't stop the hard left from trying to regulate speech.

POPSFocus on climate mitigation; give geoengineering a chance Extravagant doublethink in action for the socially engineered: Pollute to counter pollution's effects. Huh? Didn't I see this in a Simpson's episode? Maybe that show was some sort of Murdoch sponsored conditioning? Nah. Nor could Captain Planet have been some sort of Turner sponsored conditioning.

POPSWhy would Rupert Murdoch Want to Buy a Stake in Saudi Media? Entire article is worth reading. At the end is a reprint of Murdoch's speech to American Jewish Committee National Human Relations Award held March 4, 2009 in New York City: This is a horrible idea. Selling the Rotana catalog and channels to Murdoch means selling off heritage to a man who is anti-Islam and anti-Arab. From what I can tell the majority of movies that I watch on the Rotana channels are produced in Egypt, the movie making capital of the Arab world. Do Arabs (and Egyptians specifically) want their artistic works, these expressions of culture and religion, in the hands of a man who despises them?

POPSDems In Mourning that they took away from Republican Gov. Mitt Romney when it actually looked like there might be a vacancy in John Kerry’s seat. In his later years, specifically the last couple of months, Kennedy was to come to believe that democracy would be best served by ensuring a placeholder is in office to vote on the Kennedy Memorial health care monstrosity … tragically now on life support though possibly about to benefit from a new infusion of animation due to Kennedy’s demise. A lot out there today on Kennedy’s charm, collegiality. I’ve always been charmed by the knowledge that this paragon of American democracy/champion of the little guy tried to kill the scrappy conservative blue-collar tabloid I work for as part of his feud with Rupert Murdoch, with the 1988 FCC cross-ownership ban. The Boston Herald … still alive and kicking today, and having made considerable efforts at reconciliation … joins the world’s media in honoring the fallen Lion: Legend mourned.

POPSOpponents of U.S. healthcare reform take on... the U.K.'s National Health Service This is a good example of what happens when a political culture develops in which true facts no longer matter. In order to discredit the current plans for health-care reform, opponents are trying to tar it with the National Health Service's failures. Only problem is, most of the failures they describe are made up. I kind of like the super-glue story, though. I mean, hell, I pay for a group dental plan through my job, and my wife needs an implant, and I'm seriously considering a second mortgage to pay for it. And I have insurance. Somehow, these supposed British horror stories haven't convinced yet me that our current system is so wonderful that we shouldn't change it. Remember: the U.K. has the 18th-ranked healthcare system in the world; the U.S. has the 37th; and we spend plenty more than they do.
