It's a virtual mouthpiece piece for extremist Republicans. It long ago stopped pretending it's legitimate. It mocks real journalism. It's not tolerated on air.

Famed Chicago columnist Mike Royko (1932- 1997) once said "no self-respecting fish would (want to) be wrapped in a Murdoch paper...."

Former Fox employees complain about management cooking the facts to make stories acceptable to right-wing audiences. Those unwilling to go along are fired. Former Bush aid Lee Atwater once said Fox boss Roger Ailes operates on "two speeds - attack and destroy." He also demands programming conform to his views.

Murdoch's a force for evil, not good. Heir apparent son James was groomed to succeed him. He currently serves as News Corp. chairman and CEO. He's part of its scandalous operations like his father. 

At age 82, Rupert nears retirement. It may come sooner than he wishes. James turns 40 in December. Whether he'll ride out the storm remains to be seen. If he wasn't Murdoch's son he'd have been gone long ago.

On May 1, the London Guardian headlined "Rupert Murdoch 'not fit' to lead major international company, MPs conclude," saying:

A parliamentary committee declared him "not a fit person" to run a major company. Its report also targeted James. At issue was last year's News of the World phone-hacking affair.

Last July, London Guardian writers Nick Davies and Amelia Hill broke the story. Milly Dowler and her family were victimized. Their voicemails were hacked.
