I have decided to write this diary which is my first because I am sick and tired of the constant arrogance being displayed by Fox News Corp. I have always wondered why this network would display this much arrogance, after extensive research I finally found the reason behind their arrogance.
News corp is the organisation owned by Rupert Murdoch and his sons, with Rupert Murdoch the Chairman of the organisation. News Corp is the governing body that oversees Fox News and various entities, with that in mind lets take a second and understand how this organisation operates. Understanding how a corporation of this sort works is the first step in marginalizing our grounds for pursuance of fair and balanced reporting. (Fox News Corp)
Know your enemy...
We are surrounded by this huge organisation called News Corp which is owned and operated by it's Chairman whose display of character is calculating, vindictive, vile, aggressive and arrogant, followed by his sons with the same characteristics as their father. This is what we are up against when you think of Fox News.
Contrary to what some might say about his character, Rupert Murdoch is a savvy business man with shrewed business skills as those who have done business with him would tell you, also having observed his pursuant and purchase of entities you begin to get a clear picture of this mans agenda or hidden motives, here is an example of how shrewed he can be -- his organisation recently filed a lawsuit in Italy against the country's leading publications;
London, September 16 2009 -- News Corporation today announced its wholly-owned Sky Italia has filed a lawsuit with the Court of Milan against RTI and Publitalia, both owned by the Mediaset Group, for violation of antitrust rules under article 82 of the European Treaty and for unfair competition.
citing unfair competition. This is a typical example of how he migrates his organisation into an environment that they want total control of.
With that detail in mind there should be no surprises as to how they acquire entities such as MYSPACE, WSJ, DOW JONES and couple of other newspapers in England and Australia. Now, take a second and think for a moment what was reported during the purchases of the American entities such as Wall Street and Dow Jones reflecting on whats happening in Italy. You might begin to see the picture unfold as to their clairvoyance in acquiring these entities.
With that in mind, lets see another picture of their planning, this time it is the contemplation of complete control of the internet, whereas you pay a fee for downloads and Online NEWS on the internet as is extensively discussed here; now take another look at his son James Murdoch giving a speech in Edinburgh, Scotland about online news payment below, with an article discussing his neo-con lunacy;

“There is a land-grab, pure and simple, going on,” he argued, “spearheaded by the BBC. Being funded by a universal hypothecated tax, the BBC feels empowered and obliged to try and offer something for everyone, even in areas well-served by the market.” Murdoch described the dampening effect of state-funded TV, and offered his opinion that as a result Britain was on the wrong media path.
“The right path is all about trusting and empowering consumers. It is about embracing private enterprise and profit as a driver of investment, innovation and independence. And the dramatic reduction of the activities of the state in our sector. If we do take that better way, then we – all of us in this room and in our wider industry – will make a genuine contribution to a better-informed society; one in which trust in people and their freedom to choose is central to the way we behave.”
Having seen all of that, you now begin to understand why Fox News display such arrogance even under intense scrutiny from manipulating and distorting news every single day, it goes to show how treacherous and destructive they can become if we sit and do nothing to their pursuit of dominance over the media, factual news and journalism will be dead as we know it. We don't need to look any further than Fox News to understand how they have completely denigrate Journalism in the pursuit of vast profits.
The truth is, their "land grabbing" (to quote his son) is done for a reason and they will fight every efforts to protect their takeover as we have seen. This is where we need to pay close attention, and I meant very close attention. When you look at their track record of these purchased newspapers and information entities that they have acquired, news reporting have drastically been one sided and distorted to suit certain elements of society creating this aura of anxiety.
The attitude here is they can get whatever they want and whenever using these same tactics encouraged by neo-conservatives politicians and business lobbyists. We need to change our approach and not focus on fox news alone but the web that has fox news network.
We do nothing at our own peril and we should use this opportunity to stop an organisation that has no intention of ever letting us receive factual news but to continue feeding us Distortion, Misleading and Bigoted reporting.
Happy hunting....
