People are well aware of Murdoch, and he's not terribly popular here on a personal level, but people still read his newspapers - in some cities, there is no other choice.

There is currently a media review underway, which may result in tighter scrutiny of what is printed, but Murdoch has so much power now (given to him by both political parties), that politicians are wary of taking any action against him, because they know they'll be under attack through the media he controls.
