One thing I would like to say after my last post

[fpb]

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.

Salve Fabio,

Greetings from frittomisto (Duchamp, Pollock).

May I ask you to explain? Does it have to do with the religion of americanismo?

Yeah, well, I like Murdoch. Have worked for him. Several times. And a good deal of his enemies stink to high heaven.

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.)

I am so inclined as well. His influence has even limited what used to pass for discussion, political conversation. It's maddening, saddening, but alas, all too easy to understand the mechanics of it all.
