      Who has a better, or more popular, newspaper than the Wall Street Journal???

      If Murdoch's luck had held, and he and his people never committed the crimes they have, whether or not a statute covered them, he would still have been a narrow man -- dedicated more to self than the public good or interest.

      If most of us are the same. If very few are generous to a fault, are we to be content with the status quo?

      Or must we try to be Lincoln's all: people whose ambition is to free the wage-slave, educate the willing, raise up the down-trodden, be fair in an unfair world?

      What this baron did was mean. What he did not do was gargantuan.

      He had and still has the chance to do what only one in a billion men will ever have. He can see the way ahead to fair times for everyone -- and he can tell us in simple sentences in his properties that cover the globe with information and advice, what he saw and how it worked.

      If he needs some help, let him collaborate with Jack Dorsey and the team that produced "Money, Power and Wall Street" for Frontline the other night.

      John Burns, how can you be so wrong?

      A tragic figure?

      He is 81 and is just now getting it. You gotta be kidding me?

      Please watch Jon Stewart show you how to report about Citizen Shame:

      One can make the following comparison between Citizen Murdoch and Citizen "KANE" Hearst for the following reasons.

      1. How a seemingly small scandal can seriously damage a reputation and thus business empire. (Kane)

      2. How the Yellow Journalism of a media empire can influence not only nations actions and be players on the stage of history. (Spanish American War & Hearst).

      Eerily the same tale, as if they came from the same script.

      Well, if they broke the law, they broke the law, but I don't think it goes beyond that. The problem, if in fact there is one given the positives involved in his ownership, lies in how he acquired his empire. This had to have been the result of advertising run amok, financing run amok, and equally greedy sellers who abandoned their publics. In other words, it's just about everyone's fault if they don't like his opinions. And his only power lies there. It's not his fault either if the public is naive. So I can't agree at all with The New York Times' representative's quite disingenuous position.
