Basically the story goes that Greg Kelly, the morning anchor on Fox 5 New York was accused of rape a few weeks ago and took a leave of absence from the show because of it. Because Kelly is the son of New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, the case was turned over to the Manhattan District Attorney's office. They chose not to pursue rape charges for whatever reason and the next day, Newscorp (the owner of Fox 5), decided to get even with the accuser for damaging their rising star news anchor by posting her picture and name on the front page of the New York Post with this picture and headline:

They've since set out to destroy her life by publishing her name, her address, what she does for work, everything. Fucking vindictive.

(The woman they're destroying happens to be the twin sister of one of my fiancee's best friends from high school so it strikes closer to home than other stories)

So yeah, fuck Murdoch. Never again.

Check out the dumbfucks posting messages to facebook. As if the NYP doesn't have a vested interest in it, or anything.

Gee golly, I wonder if she "forgot" about it to get the fuckin paper of her back?

I don't want anything to do with anything touched by Newscorp anymore. Final straw etc. No fox, no post, no wsj.

Well, that's good, I guess. I thought it was already pretty obvious that newscorp was pure evil.

No more evil than HuffPo and the rest

They mostly all suck. I hate lefty economics as much as I hate right wing bigotry.

Yeah, but that shady Aussie is clearly evil. Whether or not you are into left or right chicken wings.

Seems strange they haven't learned from their experience in the UK.

Murdoch is an evil man.

I thought this was going to be about the Sun bribery stuff...

Murdoch's newspapers are dropping like flies.

I mentioned somewhere that Brooks and the NOW were in bed with murderers and corrupt Police.

You can read about it here.

"I've got the perfect solution for Daniel's murder. My mates at Catford nick are going to arrange it."

Lennon added:

"He (Rees) went on to explain to me that if they didn't do it themselves the police would arrange for some person over whom they had some criminal charge pending to carry out Daniel's murder".

I think I've read the Post/Daily News maybe once since I've been born. Total rags and always have been.

It's all entertainment. It has always been. Not reading NY Post doesn't make you smarter the same way not watching MTV doesn't make you intelligent. News Corp and MTV are in the same industry but just filling in different niches.

lol Fox fought for the right to lie in court, and won the case.

As if you couldn't tell they are a propaganda machine until it became somewhat personal.
