This is a major reason to support NewsCorp, even for those of you whom are liberal Fox-haters. Murdoch has made no secret of his desire to stay as independent as possible this charade, and has made quite clear that he will avoid the Chinese market if that's what it takes.

At best, your comment is a naive and ignorant take on Murdoch and China.

See http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/26/world/asia/26murdoch.html?... for how Murdoch wooed Chinese leaders, how his Star TV man tried to stop the BBC from showing a Tiannamen Square video and how they ultimately dropped the BBC from Star TV's Chinese programming.

Huh. I didn't know that Murdoch had anything in mainland China, thought that he'd avoided it with all of his properties. Thank you for informing me. :)

If I absolutely had to choose between a news organization that twists things for the republicans or one that twists things for the Chinese communist party, I'd choose one that twists things for the Chinese communist party. Since really, that news is not nearly as relevant to me.

It's a false dichotomy, of course.

The guy is a grade-a warmonger, with a stated mission of shaping public opinion to reach specific political ends: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF9HpuZm6-g. There is absolutely no reason to support him or NewsCorp. They've already ruined one journal (the WSJ), let's hope they don't grow more. Use adblock when visiting any NewsCorp website please.

You've got to be kidding ... NewsCorp is an example of journalistic integrity. This can't be taken seriously.
