Murdoch is the king of spin and half truths passed across the Fox News desk as absolute fact and truth.
Great guy to quote on how stupid the readers are. He single handedly built his media empire on the fact that most Fox viewers and the readers of his right wing slanted newpapers are too stupid to question anything they hear or read. We have seen ample proof of this time and time again when Fox cranked up the pro Bush and pro bullshit propaganda machine and blanketed the airwaves with lies and total distortions of the truth. Ah the irony of King Ruppie talking about the stupidity of the readers. Proof of this is that 62% of Fox viewers still believe that Saddam Hussien helped Osama Bin Laden with 9/11 when even Geoge Bush has now said it is not true. 71% of Fox viewers also believe that there were Afghanis on the highjacked planes and that there were also Iraqis on the highjacked planes. According to the government records not one Afghani or Iraqi had anything to do with 9/11 but yet we are fighting a war in both of those countries thanks in part to the many false news stories that Ruppie and Roger Allies pushed down all the viewers throats and they blindly swallowed. LMFAO!
