Maybe many of you right now have an idea about 9/11 or about the wars that the US government is rolling out in places like Iraq and Afghanstan. Well, i am the same.. but i was surpirsed to know that most of the media sources that i take my news from are owned by the same person!!!!

Yes, i am talking about 175 Newspapers in addition to many other TV channels and radio stations owned and influanced by the same person who is very well known for his political positions and hate for "others"... I am talking about Rupert Murdoch. I am talking about all the well known .. globally recognized media agencies.

The Image which you have about the world is wrong... keep that in mind


According to wikipedia.com:

Murdoch's British media outlets generally support eurosceptic positions and generally show contempt for the European Union. Murdoch publications worldwide tend to adopt anti-French, pro-Israeli and pro-American views. During the buildup to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, all 175 Murdoch-owned newspapers worldwide editorialized in favour of the war. [7] Murdoch also served on the board of directors of the Cato Institute.

Murdoch is seen as either a political neo-conservative or simply an opportunist, who will regularly back an expected winner regardless of principles.

In the US he has been a long-time supporter of the Republican Party and was a friend of Ronald Reagan. Murdoch's papers strongly supported George W. Bush in both the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections.

In 2006, the U.K.’s Independent newspaper reported that Murdoch is to offer Tony Blair a senior role in his global media company News Corp. when the U.K. prime minister stands down from office.

Murdoch quotes

(1) "We can't back down now, where you hand over the whole of the Middle East to Saddam...I think Bush is acting very morally, very correctly, and I think he is going to go on with it"

(2) "The greatest thing to come out of this [war in Iraq] for the world economy...would be $20 a barrel for oil. That's bigger than any tax cut in any country."

(3) "Can we change the world? No, but hell, we can all try."


So now im wondering about what they call: Freedom of Speech!! doesnt it feel so ridiculous now.

Recently Murdoch started a campaign with George clooney in addition to George's father - who are both known for their supporting position for the war in Iraq - this campaign is to support Bush in Sudan and darfur, he is using many websites which he owns like Myspace.com to broadcast videos that cloony had made to show the clamed wretchedness in Darfur to prepare the amirecan people for the new action which might be a war against Sudan.

Give me a break.

Whats new?
Murdoch has always been right wing, pro isreali and anti muslim.

News arrives from various sources.

Stick to the internet. Pull out Leftist columns, rightwing and then decide which you want to believe.

Rupert M hasn't run the story about the mad Arab that texts and threatens women yet either.

Maybe we will find something about Intimacy on Wikepedia one day too, then we can all try and fathom that one out.

I am an Arab and Muslim and I know that to text and threaten women is not allowed in the UAE. Listem FAKE INTEMACY, the penny is dropped we all know who you are and how your intemacy to bother and hassle decent women is really a big mistake and instead of worrying about being the perfect muslim while in the back yard kissing people asses seducing and playing games , please for God sake muslims do not act like that mus;im shoul;d be honest , decent, direct, polite and applying the role that they nsay it is the love, peace and supporting, I think you 'd better join a muslim dating agency and find yourself a decent muslim woman who might feed your nasty desires, and stop bothering women in the forum, Islam is not like that please understand Islam and apply its methods. [/b]

Intimacy you need to get over it. (victim / dun down /whinger)

The west have adopted anti-French, pro-Israeli and pro-American views. And if the175 newspapers the didn’t print anti-French, pro-Israeli and pro-American views then the newspapers just would not sell.
Just re member one thing people in the "WEST" are free to choose which papers they read and which TV they switch on and you have the view which are not with us and we all know what hapens to........ losers
