what the hell are you talking about? How did an editor let you publish this crap?

From what you wrote, Murdock looks to have taken over Warner Communications from jerks with ties to mobsters. He didn't score any points with you for that, I don't know why. He used the Post's employees who he trusted as investigators to do it. SO WHAT?

I suppose this as an email to paranoid leftwing media cronies would make sense, but to a general audience?

THIS is all you got from Shafer's article?

Your last sentence explains everything: another far right ideologue out to attack with whatever brickbats are available any thing that threatens the right.

Did you even bother to read the post all the way through?

I suppose the perfect definition of detachment from reality would be...one who flies into a moral rage defending Rupert Murdock.
