I really liked this article by Rodney Tiffin, ripping on Murdoch for trying to shape Australia's political landscape... again. Dude doesn't even live here anymore! How greedy can you get? Murdoch, you're already brainwashing a large proportion of the American population, leave us alone you old bastard.
Diversity of opinion is great, but Fox News is not diverse. It is the epitome of narrow-minded, unintelligent and frankly poorly produced news programming.
Everyone has to earn a dollar, but how do you have any sense of self worth if you work for such a corporation?
Fairfax are no angels, either. They publish this insightful article then jump over to calling the burqa anti-woman. Elizabeth Farrelly is trying to paint an individual's choice to wear an item of clothing as a defiance of the United Nations Convention on Human Rights. She admits to defending hypocrite porno man Fred Nile in his proposition to ban the burqa. She is contradicting herself. In championing the right of these poor, oppressed Muslim women to cast off their burqas and embrace our utopian, secular society, she is restricting who is able to inhabit our democratic paradise. I don't want to live in a country where some screwed up politician can dictate what a small minority of women are and are not allowed to wear. Why not ban low rise jeans that produce unsightly muffin tops? Or ugg boots as a legitimate choice of footwear outside the house? These items offend me, but the right of some lady who I don't know to wear a burqa doesn't bother me at all. And why should it if you're not even Muslim?
I'm sick of every article about Muslim women being accompanied by some ominous picture of a black veiled face. We get it, they're wearing a burqa and you can't see the rest of their body. That doesn't make them terrorists.
