June 2, 2007, 11:11 p.m.Wow now that's what we need - this guy controlling more media. If he gets control I hope to God that those journalists leave. There's no way that man can have control of something so big and allow them to actually be true journalists.

June 3, 2007, 1:16 a.m.Its not just news corp. Pretty much all main stream media is owned by a conglomerate. You can't be an objective jounalist if you are constaintly worryied about saying somthing bad about something that your parent company has a stake in. Newspapersand news channels on bolth tv and radio should be independent and free to report on what they want. When a company decides whats newsworrthy they're decieding what you should know.

June 3, 2007, 11:03 a.m.Foreign owned FoxNews undermined our American Democracy for big profits.
Now it will be foreign owned Wall Street Journal.
Isn't it nice to know what true Americans conservatives are?

June 3, 2007, 11:16 a.m.Afraid of Rupert. What a bunch of pansies. What are you afraid of, not being able to slant the news for your radical left buddies and your Metro elitist snob heros like Hillary and George Soros. Wait, I think I have it, you are afraid Rupert will hire Rush Limbaugh to run the WSJ.

June 3, 2007, 4:24 p.m.It's great that these journalists are standing up for what they believe in, but once he buys the company, they'll adapt to his policies or be fired.

June 3, 2007, 6:20 p.m.Quote from article:
Without exception, every major metropolitan newspaper in America -- dominating all local media satellites -- is firmly in the control of political "liberals" or, as I would prefer it, the political left. The New York Times, the LA Times, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, the Chicago Tribune, the Sun Times, the St. Louis Post, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Houston Chronicle, the Dallas Morning the Miami Herald, the Baltimore Sun, the Denver Post, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the Detroit News, etc. are by any measure "liberal" papers. They regularly endorse Democratic candidates, their news features are designed to liberal tastes; they ritually celebrate liberal icons and just as regularly taint conservative leaders. Even the Wall Street Journal, whose two editorial pages are often said to be the party organ of the conservative movement, follows the pattern of media liberalism in its news and feature sections.

June 3, 2007, 6:25 p.m.Rest at ease. This man will follow us all and with his age sooner than later hopefully. I can just see his spinning his insignia at the gates of heaven. His detour is obvious and free fall "down" is fun in the beginning to the average.
He then will attempt to subvert Satan to his conservative ways. In the end, being the twin of Satan, Satan despises competition. So enjoy life with all that hard earned wealth, for now.
