FOX NEWS AND THE LONDON PHONE HACKING

Did you know that Fox News is owned by the same person who owned the News of the World, of London phone hacking fame? Rupert Murdoch owns News Corporation which owns Fox New and the recently defunct New of the World.

If you have not been following the phone hacking scandal in Britain, you may not know that reporters working for News of the World hacked into the phones of celebrities, royals, and murdered children. It is now coming out that the police may have either helped or turned a blind eye. Certainly the police never bothered to even read all of the evidence they collected regarding the hacks.

I have always wondered how Fox News could continue to get so many people to believe in so many incorrect things. Fox News LOVED the birth certificate insanity. Fox News slanted its coverage so that the idea of invading Iraq seemed like a good idea. Yet you all still listen and BELIEVE. I guess fiction is WAY more fun than facts.

Murdoch may be our generation's William Randolph Hearst. Hearst is the newspaper owner who helped start the Spanish American War so that he could sell more newspapers. Hearst also campaigned against marijuana, cheerfully telling lies that the DEA still repeats.

I remind you, THOSE WHO DO NOT REMEMBER HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT.
