I only have one excuse, I didn't know much about Murdoch then. But who would willingly publish anything with any Murdoch paper, magazine or book publisher now, knowing what we all know?
Post UK meltdown, will Tutu, Bell, Chopra et al -- big time authors with a choice of publishers -- still publish yet more books with Harper One, and/or with Zondervan?
Will liberals in Hollywood still underwrite Murdoch with their lives and continue to work for Fox TV and Fox Films?
It's time to hold all Murdoch's collaborator's feet to the fire, especially the big and famous sell outs who can go anywhere with their books or scripts. And why would any decent paper or blog review any book, film or TV show that enriches Murdoch? He should be blacked out before he takes us all down with him.
No more excuses. We all know about Murdoch now.
From here on out it's time to out those who choose to stay in bed with the sleazy man from down under who elbowed his way into America and the UK, damaged our political systems, perhaps fatally, all the while insulting our intelligence and aiding and abetting our war machine.
We can't boycott every dubious corporation on earth. But with Murdoch's sleaze-infested ambition to control the politics of so much of the world a reality a line's been crossed. It is time to pull an "Arab Spring" on the whole Murdoch empire and overthrow it. And we of the outraged "street" can do it at last because so many political and media leaders, who have sucked up to Murdoch for decades, are running for cover.
I know it's not considered polite to be judgmental but I'll say it: to work for any part of News Corp, Murdoch, Fox and/or any or all of his companies, let alone to publish books with him makes you an accomplice to a very bad person.
