Rupert Murdoch, media mogul and founder of Fox News.
Edited on Fri Sep-03-04 11:18 AM by Cleita
This article written in 1998 by Russ Baker for "Columbia Journalism Review" casts a prophetic view of what would become the Goebbelization of enough of our news sources to give the fascist wing of the GOP enough press to to overshadow any meaningful non-biased and journalistic analysis of our American political system.

Since the copyright doesn't allow for reproducing any part, all I can give you is the link.

http://www.russbaker.com/CJR%20-%20Murdoch's%20Mean%20Machine,%20by%20Russ%20Baker.htm

If this link doesn't work try this one, which is a summary of whom Murdoch is. The Russ Baker link is here as well.

2. No, not dead yet.
Not that it matters. He has already done irreparable damage to our country.
