My deep dislike for this so-called News Corporation is finally getting some satisfaction that the U.S. Commerce Committee is seriously looking into taking down Murdoch's propaganda empire.

Of course, it had to be a Democrat to do it. I'm not surprised, but I am happy since I'm a Democrat, too! May my birthday wish, to see News Corp taken down, come true.
