Do people think CEO’s personally run every single business hands on?

Next time a BBC scandal erupts will these MP’s resign because they are unfit??

It's a show on the Fox network called "Glee", focusing on high school kids, and promoting homosexuality, transvestism , etc. It's a pretty popular show apparently, and Murdoch is proud of it - it's won a lot of awards, including a lot of gay awards.

Matter of fact, if you visit the main site of Murdoch's little empire, http://www.newscorp.com/, in between banners advertising 20th Century Fox, Fox News, etc. you'll see an add for Glee.

There are a lot of despicable things turned out by Murdoch's empire, Glee is just one of them.

As their name suggests they deal with cases which come under culture, media and sport. Muslim extremism and riots HAVE been studied and reported on Parliamentary committees, but this committee deals with behaviour by TV, newspapers, radio, film, the internet....

Reports/investigations into riots, soccer hooligans and islamic extremism arent their purview.

Have you bothered to follow this story?. Do you know why Murdoch is getting crucified?. Because his newspaper, The News of the World, illegally hacked phones and mobile phones, including the mobile phone of Milly Dowler, a child murder victim, whilst she was still missing, making her family and the police believe she was still alive. Not only did they hack phones for years, they illegally paid police for information. NOTW people have been jailed, and the likes of Murdoch Snr and Jnr and Rebekah Brooks are lucky if they arent.

I think you need to calm down and tone down your Anglophobia. There are British freepers like myself on here and we dont like people bashing our country anymore than you’d like me bashing yours. Perhaps if you actually came to the UK and saw how the country works and whats it is like, you would be less vitriolic.

BTW, did you watch the riots last year?. The majority of rioters were white British or black British, not Muslim. In fact three Muslim lads were murdered in Birmingham.

With all due respect I don't have to come to the UK. I have (or had) and aunt and cousins that live(d) in London and my wife currently has an aunt, uncle and cousins that live in or near London and they come visit 'us' every few years.

As to my "Anglophobia". To paraphrase Sly Stallone in his movie 'Cobra': Yeah I a problem -- but it's only a little one.

I actually do like the old British Films and Brit Film Stars from the 30's, 40's and early 50's. 'The Four Feathers' (1939) is one of my all time favorites. And Alfred Hitchcock, wow, who could top him (his '39 Steps' is 4 Stars). Or Monty Python's Flying Circus in the late 60's. And no one was better than -- Archibald Leach (didn't even have to look that up). And music, 'heck', Eric Clapton is my guitar god. And even Keith Richards with all his faults, I like him too. He's great on his Fender Telecaster. So see, it's only a 'little problem'(1).

(1) it's that whole WWII thing and that $#&*ing Monty screwing everything up due to his EGO. Then 'we' barely get a thank you afterward for saving HIS reputation by carrying his load, and for saving the UK's rear end. [Sprechen Sie Deutsches?])

Unless they hold shares in his companies, their opinion means jack squat.

You wonder WHY you get ‘no thanks’ when Americans like you come away with phrases like saving the UK’s rear end?. Not only is that bad history, its insulting to your relatives and to every British person. Do you have any idea how insulting that is?.

As to Monty, I would be happy as well to about him, as whilst I am not a huge Monty fan, the assertion that the US carried Monty is nonsense.

I’d suggest that GB’s gov’t, en banc, are unfit to run their own country.
