April 1945 – Germany’s generals come out in support of Adolf Hitler

Come on, the board is made up of CEO’s of other news corp subsidiaries, they will always support the Sun King.

Headline: News Corp board comes out in support of Murdoch

The epitome of stating the obvious, just like stating “Nazis support Hitler.”

Funny how the only ones supporting Rupert are his top employees.

I’m shocked! But did they do this while goose stepping? He is the epitome of arrogance and wealth. His news outlets are total propaganda for what no one can tell, confusion? or oppression?

Well, they should. It’s ludicrous — frightening – that a government board would even act like they have the authority to say who is or isn’t qualified to run a private company. Are we actually to the point where we are ready to let the government make our corporate decisions for us?

In Britain this can be likened to the Football Manager’s Vote of Confidence, delivered after a string of disappointing results.

Quite often, another 2 or 3 games is all it takes and then time’s up.

In this case, with lawyer Mark West busy working with US agencies this all sounds like borrowed time.
