John Brogden - the Murdoch principle is ruthlessly applied

The Murdoch principle - widely understood though never fully enunciated - states that there is no morality, no standards, no responsibility, no charity, no feeling, no understanding... just the story that makes money. The best Murdoch journalist applies this principle unrelentingly until the person chosen for destruction is destroyed and/or there is no more money to be had from pursuing the matter. Of course, one does not have to be a Murdoch serf to be governed by the Murdoch principle. Murdoch's disgusting empire has such reach and territory that all journalists must apply the principle to remain on the payroll of competing media companies - who also must make as much money as possible to satisfy the gigantic egos and greed of their owners.
