FOX NEWS _FAUX NOISE- UNFAIR AND DECIDEDLY UNBALANCED!!
Found this gem on the HuffingtonPost which was cross linked to the excellent site Crooks and Liars..... Thought the KOS community would find it interesting. Bet when Robert Greenwald maker of the fantastic documentary which is a must see, heard this confession it really must of made his day!!
What a unintentional validation of the movie Outfoxed.
go below to see what Murdoch said.....
While at Davos, Rupert Murdock discusses the rise of the Internet and digital media, but tells us he used News Corp. to manipulate the news.
It goes on its amazing how when greedy fat bastards feel they are among their "Peers" they admit the most astonishing things.....
Asked if his News Corp. managed to shape the agenda on the war in Iraq, Murdoch said: "No, I don't think so. We tried." Asked by Rose for further comment, he said: "We basically supported the Bush policy in the Middle East...but we have been very critical of his execution."

I am sure no Kossaks are surprised but its always interesting to hear it from the horses mouth.
In the interview he also admits they (big business) cannot control the web and that because of it government will have to be more open.
Hope his broadcast license gets taken away and he gets charged with treason- He is an "alien" I think he should be deported back to the evil megalomaniacal planet from which he came.
Also of interest - check out the names and titles of the people on the panel in which these words were spoken.
Who Will Shape the Agenda?
The global economy is in the midst of a historic shift. The integration of economies and markets around the world impacts the work of every significant actor - from government to the media to business. However, managing the balance of power and co-dependencies between the three can in large part define the strength and health of a modern democracy.
1. How are the responsibilities of government, the media and business leaders shifting?
2. How can they work more effectively - both together and separately?
3. Who will take the lead in shaping the agenda when the individual is increasingly being empowered due to changes in technology?
