One thing I would like to say after my last post

There is nothing I disapprove of more, in the range of British and American "conservative" behaviour, than Rupert Murdoch and the people who cozy up to him because Fox TV has big money and big audience. And it follows that any enemy of Murdoch, no matter whether I even like them, is at least an ally of mine.

There's a difference between thoughtful, intellectual conservatism--although here one could substitute any ideology--and shameless pandering to the worst inclinations of humanity. Murdoch's efforts fall firmly in the latter camp. (At least in the US; I'm not qualified to comment otherwise.)

You've seen nuttin' till you've seen his flagship, The Sun. And mind you, it has been calming down - in its glory days, led by two journalistic thugs called Larry Lamb and Kevin McKenze, it was the most effficent tool of vulgarization and stupidification the world has ever seen.

I will take your word for it, sir--Fox TV angries up the blood enough already!
