Rupert Murdoch - said to believe "coloreds" like American sports

Roger Simon, who wrote a telling piece for Politico, provides fascinating insight into Rupert Murdoch‘s formula for success when purchasing and running a company… at least to those of us outside of Murdoch’s inner circle of evil.

Simon and his wife worked for the Chicago Sun-Times prior to Murdoch buying the company. Soon after, Simon and his left, but not after witnessing first-hand racist remarks from the media magnate.

SIMON: I had a conversation with him about various sections of the paper. “I don’t understand anything about American sport,” [Murdoch] told me breezily, “but I know the coloreds like it.”

I told him that in America we no longer used the word “coloreds,” that it was considered insulting.

He looked at me the way Queen Victoria might have looked at a footman who had told her she was using the wrong fork to eat her pheasant.

Murdoch had apparently told employees and management at the Sun-Times that he intended to maintain the quality and integrity of the paper. Simon said everyone knew it was a lie. Within months, there were mass resignations and dismissals and Murdoch brought on his own “thugs” and “stooges.” He sold the paper, but the damage had been done.

Murdoch and his goons also know what damage can be caused to a political career and exactly how to do it using harassment, printing sexist remarks and photo editing…

Sarah Lyall of The New York Times wrote last week about Clare Short, a Labour member of Parliament, who once mentioned “in passing that she did not care for the photographs of saucy, topless women that appear every day on Page 3 of the populist tabloid The Sun,” owned by Murdoch.

The Sun attacked swiftly with the headline: “‘Fat, Jealous’ Clare Brands Page 3 Porn.” The paper also sent a busload of “semi-dressed” models to Short’s home to jeer at her and stuck a picture of Short’s head on the body of a topless woman in the paper.While powerful politicians often privately deplored the behavior of the British tabloids, they were “afraid to say so publicly, for fear of losing the papers’ support or finding themselves the target of their wrath,” the Times article said.

The editor of The Sun at the time of the attack on that “fat, jealous” member of Parliament was Rebekah Wade, now Rebekah Brooks, who has been arrested in the phone-hacking scandal and who testified Tuesday before a parliamentary committee right after Murdoch finished.

While Fox News may not be as blatantly sexist in their harassment of public officials in the United States, the results are basically the same… We saw the backlash that the Obama administration received when they called out Fox News for their BS. I wonder how many of those journalists who defended Fox News will realize they were on the wrong side of history when it’s all said and News Corp. is done.

Dilenschneider: Why are so many people piling on at this point? We know it’s a hacking scandal. Shouldn’t we get beyond it and really deal with the issue of hacking? Citicorp has been hacked into. Bank of America has been hacked into. American Express has been hacked into. Insurance companies have been hacked into.?.?. . So we have to figure out a way to deal with this hacking problem. That’s what we have to do.

The following analogy by clockworkdiamond from Reddit puts this into perspective:

Wow, way to spin it to make news of the world out as though they are the same kind of victims as other corporations that got hacked. Lets be clear, this company was not the hacked, but the hacker. They are the criminals, not the victims. This is like saying “sure we were raping people, but rape is a serious thing in this country, so we should focus on that”.

If you can stand it, watch the end and you’ll notice that Steve Doocy mentions the “mainstream media,” of which he must have forgotten they are part of… He states that there are more important topics – Cue Casey Anthony!

As news of the phone hacking by News Corp. owned News of the World spreads and the story grows to include the arrest of News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks and the resignations of police officials, Sean Hoare, the NoW whistleblower has been found dead. Hoare first made the claims in a New York Times investigation into the phone-hacking allegations.

Police are still investigating his death and have not ruled it suspicious.

“At 10.40am today [Monday 18 July] police were called to Langley Road, Watford, following the concerns for the welfare of a man who lives at an address on the street. Upon police and ambulance arrival at a property, the body of a man was found. The man was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after.”The death is currently being treated as unexplained but not thought to be suspicious. Police investigations into this incident are ongoing.”

A law enforcement official says the FBI has opened an investigation into allegations that media mogul Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. sought to hack into the phones of Sept. 11 victims. The official spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.

According to the AP, this is a result of U.S. Rep. Peter King and several other members of Congress writing to FBI Director Robert Mueller, demanding an investigation.

Rupert Murdoch

British tabloid News of the World, owned by News International, a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch‘s News Corporation (who, as you know, also owns Fox News Channel) is entangled in a series of hacking allegations in the UK.

News International, parent company of Britain’s top-selling News of the World tabloid, said on Friday it would admit liability and pay compensation in eight cases — although many more people believe they were targeted.

The admission was an about-turn from the media group’s previous denial that it knew journalists were hacking the phones of the royal family, politicians, celebrities and sports stars, blaming a handful of “rogue reporters” for the scandal.

According to TechDirt, the hacking wasn’t limited to politicians and celebrities, but also included a murdered teenage girl whose voicemails were tampered with (some deleted), and families of soldiers who died while fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. There is also suspicion that the hacking aided two people under investigation for murder by supposedly spying on the detectives involved in the case.

While settling the cases could cost tens of millions of dollars, the damage to Murdoch’s empire is also being seen in more lost advertisers. Ford, among other companies, have pulled ads from News of the World. In a few days, that won’t matter…

It was announced on 7 July 2011 that, after 168 years in print, the newspaper would print its final edition on 10 July 2011 following revelations of the ongoing phone hacking scandal, with the loss of 200 jobs.

No advertisements will run in this weekend’s paper – instead any advertising space will be donated to charities and good causes.

SPOCKO: I know that you don’t break out revenue numbers for Fox News beyond the top line, but with 81 advertisers leaving the Glenn Beck show following the Color of Change action, the show now seems limited to in house ads and gold ads. Do you have a time frame for how long Fox will subsidize the show until it to starts to generate revenue in line with its ratings?

That’s pretty straight forward – without sponsors, the money to support the show has to come from somewhere. Right? Not according to the factually-challenged CEO of News Corp.

MURDOCH: It’s not subsidizing the show at all. And it’s giving a terrific kick off to the whole evening schedule. It has plenty of advertising, and those advertisers you talk about, I don’t think there is anything like that number, but if there were they are on other shows.

Thankfully, some media outlets picked up on this and Keith Olbermann even used Murdoch’s response in his Worst Persons segment. Unfortunately, it doesn’t change anything – Fox News and the News Corp. CEO will continue to simply deny facts and their followers will continue to eat up the BS.

MURDOCH: No. I don’t think we should be supporting the Tea Party or any other party. But I’d like to investigate what you are saying before condemning anyone.

Here are numerous examples to help with Murdoch’s investigation:

• “Join Your Local Tea Party”: Fox News’ history of promoting the tea party movement

• Anchor: “It’s now my great duty to promote the tea parties. Here we go!” During the April 13, 2009, edition of Your World, Fox Business anchor and “business journalist” Stuart Varney
• Fox News aired more than 100 commercial promotions for tea party protests in less than two weeks. From April 6 to April 15
• Beck encouraged viewers to “please go” to “FNC Tax Day Tea Parties.” Fox News aired graphics on repeated occasions in which they dubbed the April 15, 2009, Tax Day Tea Parties, “FNC Tax Day Tea Parties.”

• “Can’t get to a tea party? Fox Nation hosts a virtual tea party.” On the April 11, 2009, edition of Fox News Watch
• Fox News host: “[H]opefully millions of people” will participate. While reporting live at a protest on April 15, 2009, former Big Story host John Gibson
• Anchor to viewers: You “need to go” to tea party merchandise site. On April 15, 2009, Fox Business anchor David Asman
• News anchor on list of nationwide tea party events: “Check it out online right now.” On March 24, 2009, Hemmer noted protests in Florida and Ohio and directed viewers to the program’s website
• News anchor: To find “one happening near you, head to our website.” On April 6, 2009, Hemmer again directed viewers to Fox News’ website to find a tea party “happening near you”
• Hannity: “We hope you’ll join us.” On April 3, 2009, Fox News host Sean Hannity said: “And also log on to our Web site to get all the details about our special ‘Tax Day Tea Party.’
• Hannity: “And then it’s April 15, it’s our tea party tax day show. And I’ll be hosting the show from Atlanta, where one of dozens of tea party protests are going to be going on that evening. So we hope you’ll join us.”
• Reporter: “We want to let folks know” tea party schedule so “they can be a part” of events. The August 23, 2009, edition of Fox News’ America’s News HQ hosted Tea Party Express organizer Mark Williams to promote the tour.
• Reporter: “[H]opefully Washington will listen to their concerns.” During the August 28, 2009, edition of Fox & Friends, William La Jeunesse
• Host: “How you can join, next.” On its August 19, 2009, broadcast, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade told viewers “how you can join” the Tea Party Express
• Fox News helped viewers find out “how you can join” the Tea Party Express by displaying the dates and locations of 22 stops.
• “To sign up for Tea Party 2.0 Go to …” On May 13, 2009, On the Record host Greta Van Susteren

• Cavuto on protestors: “God bless these folks.” On March 27, while showing footage of tea party protestors gathering for a tea party rally “four and a half hours from now,”
• Reporter endorsed tea partier’s call to “get these liberal communists out of our government.” While covering a tea party protest for FoxNews.com on September 4, 2009, reporter Griff Jenkins interviewed a tea partier who said he wanted to “get these liberal communists out of our government.” Jenkins replied: “How about that. I couldn’t have said anything better than that.”
• Fox News employee: Some members of Fox “cheerlead for rallies and tea parties.” Fox News contributor Bernard Goldberg stated on September 29, 2009: “There are some programs on Fox that are not only not ‘Fair and Balanced’ — they’re commentary shows, they don’t have to be — but they brag about how ‘Fair and Balanced’ they are. They don’t cover rallies and tea parties; they cheerlead for rallies and tea parties. And as a journalist, I am totally against that.”
• Tea party participants credited Fox promotions for bringing them to the April 15, 2009, protests.
• Tea party organizers used Fox News to increase attendance.
