I’m sure if a lot of people were as rich as Murdoch they’d use their media companies to influence elections. What good is power if you can’t abuse it, right?
You are very reasonable with your points. Life isn't black and white

Blaming people like Murdoch and avoiding debating the actual issue is to be avoided

Noone reads newspapers anymore. Ask anyone aged less than 30 and they will laugh at you

As I said, Murdoch made me get a speeding ticket. Damned Murdoch!
