Murdoch gets Wall Street Journal

Well, there goes another slice of the media. Down the gurgler.

Shrewd business move, though personally I would have bought MAD magazine.

this is no surprise though. just all official like now.

I'm glad i'll be dead one day.

probably a better buy than myspace though.

man can you imagine in the future when all the media's owned by mutlinationals and they can control what news is reported... hang on a second!

Will M&N be next???

Scary. Still doesn't get me off my ass to start this fucken thesis though.

Cunt.

this is going to go horribly wrong.

fucking fuck fuck.

reckon he's after m&n next ?

out foxed

reckon he's after m&n next ?

and if so, what would his avatar be?

darth vadar

he'd be a troll to rival BADALEX, for sure.

Hendrix was a futuristic viral marketer...

Fry & Laurie picture Rupert Murdoch in ''It's A Wonderful Life''...

Murdoch had to apologise today for this cartoon appearing in the New York Post...

Wasn't it on their website he issued the apology? Weak.

Couldn't find it on the website just now.

Anyway what the hell were they thinking?!

It;s that idiot that took KRudd to the strippers....

''Last week, we made a mistake. We ran a cartoon that offended many people,'' Murdoch said on Tuesday in a statement on the website of his tabloid The New York Post, which printed the cartoon.

I don't get it. Is Murdoch that dumb he thought comparing Obama to a mad chimp was OK? Surely he didn't personally approve it?
Did some editor get fired over this shit?

haha bush made a great chimp. the chimp gag kinda backfires on obama huh?

The editor is Col Allan, Block. And no, he did not get fired.

hang on, that's not a chimp gag, what the fuck is that? a rodney king gag? i don't get it.

Peter Allan's brother?
Wow, what a talented family.

I think it was trying to say that the chimp could come up with a stimulus package as good as Obama's? However, comparing a black man to a monkey is not cool.

I know that from Andrew Symonds.

I don't think there was any serious racial intent with the cartoon, just extreme ignorance and naivety

newspaper cartoonists would be aware of the connotations of a monkey, and the pairs of eyes that this went past before being put to press, it's hard to put it down to ignorance.

i still don't get it. did the cop accidentally shoot the monkey? his lip is quivering. if you were shooting monkeys, surely you'd go out to the jungle. what's the monkey doing on the footpath like that, being shot by beat cops?

See here for some sort of context, paulie.

ah right.

i still don't get it.

Wall Street Journal fucked?

One of the greatest circulation scams of all time. What a rotten time to get caught.

Yes! Was a neat little arrangement they had there.

One of the greatest circulation scams of all time.

Certainly better than both Beat AND Inpress's
