Friday Follies: More proof that Rupert Murdoch is Satan...

I know that to most of my massive readership (thank you, all four of you) it is common knowledge that the sour-faced Australian/American walking bag of wrinkles that owns what seems to be 7/8ths of all media on the planet (known colloquially as Rupert Murdoch, or more commonly 'Satan'), is a right-wing ideologue extraordinaire, but the man that received the most votes in the 2000 US election, and the man that should have been the 43rd President of the United States instead of the smirking monosyllabic simian selected by the US Supreme Court, has just come right out and said it, in plain English.

It seems that President Gore's TV channel, Current TV, is about to get booted off Italian satellite dishes because Big Al signed up Keith Olbermann (a personal hero of mine) to headline a nightly newscast starting in June, and Satan really doesn't like my mate Keef. You see, good old Keithy has a habit of calling a spade a spade (sometimes he calls them 'fucking shovels' just to make sure the point gets across), and his main targets for the application of the 'Keith Olbermann Truth and Reality-Serum' is Satan's "news" channel in America, the Fuxx Spews Network. Keith has repeatedly shown (using their own words, not his) that their primetime hosts are unabashedly bare-faced naked serial liars and consumate bullshit artists, and that they are all both morally and ethically bankrupt. He has pointed out that Satan himself is a documented liar and has the moral conscience of an incontinent pitbull on a white shag carpet. This has not best pleased the cloven-hoofed one, and he has decided to take out his ire on Keith's new network.

The fact that this once again proves Satan to be nothing more than a thin-skinned bastard who can dish it out all day long but when called to account simply tries to take his ball and go home, is no surprise. What is surprising is that he would do this at a time when he is edging ever-closer to the precipice of criminal prosecution for his companies phone-hacking of celebrities and royalty in the UK and his planned takeover of BSkyB in the UK is also under fire. That deal is floundering for myriad reasons, not least of which are his apparent "political contributions" (these used to be called "bribes" in the past, however that term has now been deemed too quaint) to several prominent politicians from both main UK parties in an attempt to calm the seas of approval. That isn't going to plan at all, and now instead of retreating, reconsidering and re-deploying, he has decided to fuck with the former Vice President of the United States.

For an allegedly shrewd business guy, he is beginning to look more and more like Donald Trump everyday...you know, all mouth and no trousers...

Cheers!!!
