mrdobolina, you know how these things work. ultimate power corrupts ultimately. Murdoch has vested interests in everything.
For instance, during Australia's bicentenary in 1988, an editorial in Murdoch's Sun described Aborigines as "treacherous and brutal", a people without skills, arts or graces who would have wiped themselves out if left alone. This was illustrated by a stereotype of a savage. The Press Council called it "offensive, misleading and unacceptably racist".
Murdoch is one of Australia's most powerful landowners and opponents of Aboriginal land rights.
His papers are the sleaziest tabloids on earth. They frequently launch attacks on impoverished single mothers, asylum seekers, whoever can be scapegoated most effectively. His papers inspire nationalistic ignorance. Evil is a strong word but i'd say it's appropriate.
