Murdoch on WSJ: We’re going to ‘get it as we like it.’
Media baron Rupert Murdoch, whose News Corp. owns Fox News and the Weekly Standard, said yesterday that when he assumes control of Dow Jones, his “first priority” will be to change the Wall Street Journal and “get it as we like it.” Murdoch has been accused in the past of suggesting “specific editorial views” at some papers he’s owned.

November 8th, 2007 at 12:46 pm“get it as we like it.â€
In other words, get it to toe the Neocon line.
November 8th, 2007 at 12:46 pmThe editorial page is already about as right wing as you can get.

November 8th, 2007 at 12:47 pmAnd another American institution gets Murdoched. I can’t wait to see what he does if he ever gets his hands on Children’s Television Workshop.
November 8th, 2007 at 12:49 pmIf he ever does get his hands on the Children’s Television Workshop, you can bet that Bert and Ernie will get separate bedrooms.
November 8th, 2007 at 12:51 pmBecause of a late night vote pushed by Trent Lott Murdoch is able to buy and control as much media as he wants. Another sell out by a Republica of America’s future.
November 8th, 2007 at 12:52 pmHuh. Pretty soon, America will be all FUX, all the time.
I can’t wait.

November 8th, 2007 at 12:55 pmFOX: When news breaks, we fix it.
November 8th, 2007 at 12:56 pmThe WSJ is renowned for its reality-based reporting.
November 8th, 2007 at 12:57 pmLooks like we can bid that one adios. Of course, no one could have predicted this happening, right?

But then Faux Noise will show all kinds of video from when they were in the same room.

November 8th, 2007 at 12:58 pmIs this part of the liberal media that the right-wingers are always complaining about?
November 8th, 2007 at 12:58 pmThe Reich Wing Media Machine bloviates again.
November 8th, 2007 at 1:09 pmDo you notice that lies are a way of life for neocons. The owners of the WSJ were very hesitant to sell because of the way Murdoch runs his news businesses. Notice that Murdoch went through extensive negotiations to establish a mechanism to protect the journalistic integrity of the publication, as he has in other cases. Of course, it is all a lie. Conservatives are all allowed to lie. Questioning their veracity shows that you are a left wing lunatic. Perhaps its time to start taking each conservative out as a warning to the others.
November 8th, 2007 at 1:24 pmMurdoch has won the title of the ugliest billionaire for 2007. Mirrors shatter before he sees his face, so he has no idea what he looks like.
November 8th, 2007 at 1:28 pmNo, Murdoch has been accused of being a big fat stinking lying sack of sh!t.
November 8th, 2007 at 1:32 pmThanks Bancrofts.
November 8th, 2007 at 1:44 pmIt’s so funny…how rabid republican/average red state americans are sooo “pro-america” blah blah blah, that they eat up fox news..and it’s owned by a non-american, who is married to a chinese communist, and allows input from a Muslim sheik to rearrange coverage of muslim riots in France.
HILARIOUS.
They’re total puppets and too stupid to realize it; well, some are…my father was completely pro-bush until the past year, when i’ve worked on him alot…and bush’s economy is working its magic on him as well.
November 8th, 2007 at 2:39 pmWell, when only 24% of the people in this country will go near the WSJ, then maybe Murdoch will see that he no longer has a profitable venture and that he can no longer sway public opinion.
November 8th, 2007 at 3:09 pmLooks like it’s time to cancel ALL subscriptions.
November 8th, 2007 at 5:30 pmThe editorial page of the WSJ is already so far to the right that one wonders what changes Murdoch could bring to it.

http://www.H2onE2.com Glacial Respiration, Conceptual Ring of Ice, The End of Linear Western Religion
A Geological Exploration of an E2 Earthen Planet And the H2 Human Species
Author: B Billy Marse, Professional Geologist
Brief Description:
http://www.H2onE2.com is an exploration of the universe, geology, climate, biology, humans, psychology, folklore and ancient structures to uncover the beginning and disclose the end of linear western religion. The true DaVinci Code behind the bible is not a supreme spiritual power but a scientific record of climate change described as Glacial Respiration. The Greek philosophers originated the practice of communicating a hidden idea or message in the short story format, as a metaphor. In the bible, metaphors conceal historic climate change within the fanciful stories. The theory of Glacial Respiration explains the myth behind the Holy Grail, structures such as the Great Pyramids, Stonehenge, Easter Island and is the knowledge that was collected in the Jewish Ark of the Covenant.
The environmental changes of Glacial Respiration determine all biological evolution and can explain why higher forms of intelligent humans developed. Further, Glacial Respiration releases the secret hidden by the Knights Templars, Masonic Order and all religions. Uncovers an advanced Blue-Blooded semi-industrial Atlantian Civilization that was built and destroyed many times over for the last million years. The book ends with an explanation of how linear western religion will be physically ended and describes the construction of the doomsday device capable of fulfilling its own self defining prophesy, “Revelationsâ€. H2onE2 is a mind-expanding experience that stimulates the soul, instinct, intellect and is an almanac to the past, present and future of humanity. Rise, awaken and evolve into H3 human consciousness.
The discovery:
November 9th, 2007 at 4:58 pmAs a Professional Geologist, I attempted to link the Dust Bowl/Great Depression to a pre-glacial condition or mechanism and ended up writing the book H2onE2. I felt that there was a strong connection between the Dust Bowl and transition back into Glacial Winter. I did notice that my professors scientifically crumbled every time I mentioned the relationship. I could not go back in time or locate indisputable proof. The proof came from understanding all educational disciplines including history and theology. I soon discovered that all religious text both eastern and western continually described significant climate change conditions relating to Glacial Respiration. For years I fought off mixing science and religion until I discovered that the origins of all religions were founded or created to help humans psychologically survive the harsh earthen environment. Without reason I soon accepted that the world’s complicated religions were the same. This came true and I continued to write and discover. Everything came into place as though I was unlocking a 10,000-year-old puzzle. I also realized this puzzle was opened before I discovered it, by someone else, some other group. If so, further understanding of this knowledge might be extracted from significant historical events. Lastly, this is the vital information needed to make future predictions.
