Rupert Murdoch - good riddance to bad rubbish!

It's not often that I disagree dramatically with Alan Jones's daily comment on the Nine Network's 'Today' show. He has a knack of briefly and lucidly articulating the ordinary Australian's response to the oppression of the Politically Correct class.

This morning he was fulsome in his praise of Rupert Murdoch's business achievements. Evidently motivated by his admiration for the media czar, he was attempting to assuage the concern of Australians at the news that Rupert Murdoch was at last doing what, in my view, he should have done years ago: move News Corporation to the United States. The move did not make any real difference, said Jones. It was merely a technical adjustment to further maximise Murdoch's business reach. The brilliantly successful Murdoch was still Australian in his heart and soul. Well, no he isn't - and never has been. He's the deformed bastard born of the liaison between the devil and materialist liberalism.

To begin with, Murdoch has no heart and soul. It is precisely because he has no heart and soul that he has built a gigantic media empire. It precisely because of the dark cavern within that Murdoch has turned the British media into the moral cesspit that it is. The Sun and The News of the World are worthy tributes to his total lack of principle.

These are the outstanding instruments of Murdoch's campaign to rid society (any society) of any sort of traditional framework (moral, social and political) that would put a restriction on the polluting activities of his diverse revenue-generating properties. Murdoch's bitter and unrelenting attack on the British Monarchy is the outstanding manifestation of this.

While Murdoch pretends in attacking the British Monarchy that he is attacking undeserved and unwarranted privilege, he is in reality attacking a linchpin in the slowly disintegrating historical and cultural links between the English-speaking peoples. Such cultural and historical links as the British Monarchy are more than the individuals that comprise them. Talk of enduring culture and custom is anathema to Murdoch.

For me, Murdoch could not be gone too quickly. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
