Heading to a well-fortified island with hookers and blow. Now that is winning.
He got Murdocked! Bitchez! The Elites are having a serious pillow fight!!!!!!
Soros won round 1!!!
Almost, you will know it is serious when they reinstate the draft.
Pillow fight my ass, if I was James I would be fearful to go out in sunlight and not have a target on my life.
Frankly, he deserves it, just like his filthy fuck rotten father.
Money can't buy class and it won't save your ass, James.
Nice, sacrifice your own son. What a guy old Rupert is. Lachlan you are in the batters up circle, this sounds like a Shakespearean tragedy..
The Murdochs and their news outlets are some of the most biased right wing meanies on the planet. The world will be a better place with only smart, informed and forward thinking liberal channels like MSNBC, CNN and ABC. These channels offer unbiased and objective coverage of the most important issues facing the world, which is why they generate virtually no criticism relative to Fox News.
yawn.............
"why they generate virtually no criticism relative to Fox News".... Yeah, and no revenue either. LOL!!! Can always count on MDB for a good laugh.
they are more accurately NEOCON NEW WORLD ORDER
another string-jumping moronic 2 sentences from the million-dollar-trollingCunt!
"MAG: TED TURNER UNLEASHED...
SUICIDE THOUGHTS; HASN'T BEEN INSIDE STORE FOR 5 YEARS; CONSIDERED RUN FOR PRESIDENT; THE WOMEN, THE BOOZE, JANE; DOESN'T WATCH CNN 'HEADLINE NEWS'; WARNING TO MURDOCH... DEVELOPING..."
On Drudge right now...
He's terribly sorry about the phone hacking, but see, he didn't know.
One battle- Will win the war...
... But he fired Judge Napolatino and Gelnn Beck or at least was certainly a part of it.
Speaking of progpaganda machines, this is on the front page of the NY Times:
U.S. Sees Iran Attacks as Likely if Israel Strikes
By the end of March most Americans will feel the urge to go to war with Iran
Once the elites reinstate the draft, most "tenants of the corporation of the united states" will go to war, period. Fixed it for you.
The REAL question is....
"what was coming out next week which would have FORCED him to resign from his post"?
People never resign unless they have to (or unless they're too old)
I suspect the hacking inquiry is about to get a little hotter.

Did the world realise the UK police force was corrupt? The model of integrity which is apparenty the envy of the world (their words not mine) - well apparently it's about as straight as a Goldman swap.
Extradition Layer 1
How can these people continue to be in business? They are worse than scum. For years people have been fed phoney news via shitty newspapers and crap TV.
Challenge to ZH - get yourselves a TV channel.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out....
I heard FOX say that Obama was a good christian and a great president. Fox fired Napolitano for free speech, Beck, same thing. TPTB have Murdoch's by the short hairs as FOX joins state propaganda MSM. Guess you have to rely on blogs if you want any (real) news.
it's about time.
