A rebirth for Rupert Murdoch?

A rebirth for Rupert Murdoch? By having his children baptised in the River Jordan, perhaps the head of News Corp is signalling his own conversion This week's Hello Magazine has a cover so Hello-ishly Hello-esque that one ought to wear sunglasses before picking it up. Royalty, in the shape of Queen Rania of Jordan, rubs shoulders with celebrity (Nicole Kidman), in a composition of flowing white robes and surrounded by decoratively angelic children. But wait, who is the outsize leprechaun in the corner? Surely not Rupert Murdoch, looking like he has wandered into a Broadway revival of Hair! The photographs were taken at the baptism ceremony of Murdoch's youngest children, hosted by Queen Rania at a baptism site in the River Jordan. It looked like a grand day out, but the question with anything Murdoch-related, is why did he do it? Swiftly followed by that other question when anything unusual happens in the Middle East: is it good for Israel?

James Murdoch is a menace and an Israel hater. He will inherit Newscorp. If you search who he has contributed to you'll see it was Al Gore. Click the link to the original article and you'll see that James Murdoch is a Palestinian supporter.

As far as I can see, Rupert Murdoch has no intention whatsoever of retiring in the foreseeable future. He even got married a hot, new, young young wife not long ago, and had 2 young children with her already, and he just launched a neswspaper war pitting the Wall Street Journal against the New York Times, with the intention of eating the NYT's lunch.
Heck, Robert Byrd (91) who is much older than Murdoch, is still sitting in the US Senate with no signs of retiring any time soon.
In any case, neither the older or the younger Murdoch have any power to affect Israel's national defense or security.

No, but Newscorp contributes significantly to the decline of the west. Its incessent hounding of public figures, its cynicism, its arrogance in its power, its concentration on the sensational and the trivial...it offends Human dignity and helps disempower people.

Not for nothing is Rupert Murdoch (born in Melbourne, Victoria) known in Britain as "the dirty digger".

I read this and thought of Roger Ailes. My wife and I sometimes sit a few pews back of of this great man, his wife and son.
