Australia needs a parlimentary enquiry into media ownership.

]Speers is no left-winger... That is an hysterical assertion[/B].

The Murdoch press are rabid free marketeers... Angelo Frangopoulos the boss of Sky News Australia is no friend of the left.

Kerry Stokes? Channel Kevin? They gave the same amount of time to Hockey... Absolutely anti-Labor.

Stephen Mayne? Apart from being a tool is a former Jeff Kennett staffer and no friend of the left either.

Our commercial media has stopped being an impartial voice and is purely the voice of commercial interests. Not much objective analysis, just carbon tax scare campaigns and and attack sexist attacks on red headed PMs.

That is a fact from someone who works with him

Yep, is that person Kieran Gilbert? Take it as given... Sky does not have a skerrick of left-wing bias. It's on a pay tv network owned by Fox. Do you even read what you write, because you sure as he'll can't believe the tripe you write sometimes.

No its not Keiran Gilbert

It is a female News Reader who has worked at Sky News for about a decade.

I didn't imply that it had a left wing bias but provided evidence that it fairly balanced in the face of chooks rubbish accusations of extreme right wing bias.

Ignore list is the best for rcptn. Trust me, I've tried and tried the rational debate with him but it's hopeless as you can see.

Chook.

You ain't seen nothing yet, wait till Gina Reinhart get's her facist talons into channel Ten in partnership with Lachlan Murdoch, we're going to see our very own version of Faux Noise. It's already started with the Dolt Report and it'll get worse with that rancid bitch in charge.

Chook.

Murdoch's abuse of his position has a lot of people wanting him to fall.

This is as good as a grand final.

This was the most humble day of my life - Rupert Murdoch 19/07/11

Well the Murdoch's have made their obligitory apologies and Rupert copped a creme pie in the face. Denials were the order of the day, execs didn't know about the phone hacking and news of the world is only 1% of the News Corporation company.

It was funny, they wanted to start the proceedings with a statement, the commitee quickly shot that down and commenced with the questioning, which caused both Murdoch's alot of discomfort in their answering.......they were being hauled over the coals until some fool called Jonnie Marbles decided to plant a creme pie smack on murdoch seniors face, this caused his wife to go all kung fu on Marbles.

Once proceedings continued, the Murdoch's were allowed to proceed with their statements and some more questioning.

More needs to come of this. If The news of the world is only 1% of his company and this is the lengths this rag went to for a story.......can you imagine what lengths a paper like the Scum (of The Sun for those who want to call it by it's proper name) go to for their Sensationalist articles.

I'll bet lachie is thanking his lucky stars he decided to Jump ship from the company.

Watch this space. I believe there will be much more to come out over coming weeks and months.

Just this morning the Police Chief has been accused of asking the Guardian to cease and desist their investigation into the phone hacking by notw 3 weeks after hiring an ex editor of notw to head up the public relations team of the Met police force. This just gets dodgier and dodgier by the day.

Chook.

I have to admit an almost sexual pleasure from watching the Murdoch's squirm last night. This will be the end of Rupert I suspect.

It may even be the end of News Limited. Which may save League.

Props to Wendy Deng though, that shot she put on the dickhead with the cream pie would put Danny Green to shame.

[Guest]

I honestly don't think this will have much long term impact on Murdoch or News.

It was nice to see him eat some humble pie though.

JULIA Gillard has declared that News Ltd, the Australian arm of Rupert Murdoch's media empire, has "hard questions" to answer in light of the UK phone hacking scandal.

RUPERT Murdoch's testimony before a UK parliamentary committee about the phone-hacking crisis reinforced the views of some News Corporation shareholders that he should step aside as chief executive.

I hope you're wrong Fitz. He and James are getting panned for their failure to know what goes on in their corporation.

It will be interesting if there will be a scape goat presented for slaughter by the media who will claim hacking phones was all their own idea.
