Yeah, there's a better chance that Rupe is the second incarnation of Christ.

...who needs Murdoch when we'll always be able to rely on the good old beeb eh? BBC News staff stage 48-hour strike over pension reform

Scott, you sound quite Anti Auntie. The BBC certainly isn't perfect, but by simply being there it helps keep a certain standard of broadcasting in this country that is hard to find elsewhere in the world.
A country where News Corp controls the media is a terrible scenario. It's pretty obvious that NC backs any political party that panders to their demands and is dictating certain policies that give it an advantage. Is it any coincidence that Cameron's "communications director" is a former NOTW editor? Dare to go against them and they smear you in their papers and ruin your reputation. All whilst going under the facade that they are for the people.

Actually, I don't really care if Murdoch buys out the remaining Sky. If Sky news becomes like Fox, the rational people will see through it and know.

Yes, and just think how much people care what the rational people think.
