(Note: I'm putting some old news up on here, from comments I've made here and there in other online media, so that's why this is a bit out of date.)
I've been following the saga of horror that is News Int in the UK. Some
interesting things have popped up out of this story that I wasn't really
aware of here in Australia. Specifically, Murdoch's money-leviathan
owns 70% of Australian media. 70%. Let that sink in. This means that 70%
of our media could be about as reliable as Fox News. Some experts have
warned it won't be long before some Australian skeletons come tumbling
out of the closet. Oh... goody.
Murdoch owns all the News Ltd papers. I was going to try and list them, but sod it, skip to 'Holdings' on this entry in Wikipedia.
Basically in Melbourne, unless you read The Age or The Star suburbans,
you're reading a Murdoch rag. For a more complete list of News Corp
holdings, have a gander at Murdoch's bag o' swag here
Heh, and I just found out avaaz.org are calling for donations to hire pi's to unveil as much corruption as possible in the Murdoch conglomerate worldwide.
