James Murdoch Resigns and runs from justice....

Nessuno | 29.02.2012 15:37 | Globalisation | World

A long time ago when the seattle protests caused and earthquake under the mainstream media and caused it to split into two distinct groups.


One group has attempted to take over the mainstream media for the purposes of globalized corporate control of the media and give media power to the top corporations and banks running the world. They used the means of old media newspapers and TV to do this.

After Seattle and the corporate media refused to tell the truth, a new group of journalists split and created vibrant Independent and internet media. The first pioneers created self publishing newswires and told everyone that they could be citizen journalists. Thus you see sites like Indymedia existing.

In time and after a while, the corporate media lot then wanted to introduce a paying capitalist platform so the corporate media could gain control of the internet media market, future unlimited profits and to keep pumping out the message to billions of internet users compared to just millions who buy newspapers and watch TV.

For us at Indymedia like me, the Murdoch empire was the biggest of what we call corporate media cabal. It has been of keen interest and a distinct pleasure seeing and watching a well respected journalist called Nick Davies unearth the phone hacking scandal.

Nick does accredit Indymedia with 'changing the landscape of the UK media in the last decade'. I think he would agree with me now that whilst there are critics of the Indymedia model, the wheels are coming off the corporate media model of business.

Today, victory came in the constant battle to bring true and proper journalism to the masses with James Murdoch resigning from News International. Already there is a long trail and list of crimes by news international against many people.

This pure corporate media organization has now finally been brought crashing down by a british public who are sick about the neck grip the Murdoch's had on democracy and British life. If there is anything that tops Paul Dacre, its the Murdoch empire.

However several questions remain:

When will the british police arrest and question James and Rupert Murdoch?

Why isn't the other interested corporate media companies using there channels to call for their arrest?

Why are they always allowed to get back on a corporate jet and leave the shitstorm they created?

Why are the news corporation journalists not turning on their boss? are they more worried about getting a corporate media payback from these criminals or are they more worried they will go to jail after the Murdoch's grass them up as they try and save their own skins?

(It is my view that any journalist who works for news corporation and still actually believes in the Murdoch's protecting them is truly an idiot)

Why doesn't Sue Akers give the 300 million News corporation emails to the FBI? They could use anti terrorism software to cut through investigating this pile of emails very quickly!

Why is this news corporation 'standards' board allowed to stand in the way of the met police and parliament?

Why aren't the murdoch's being declared unfit to be a broadcaster in this country?

Why aren't some of these Tory politicians questioned about their connections with the Murdoch Powerbase?

Why launch another stupid tabloid and then resign a week later from being its boss?

Sadly, we will not get answers. The Murdoch's will escape all responsibility as they jet off into the sunset after running the western world's media for the last 20 years.
