Conservatives Shouldn’t Own Newspapers?
The Los Angeles Times is up for sale, and there are super-wealthy
conservative bidders. Get out the popcorn and watch the liberals squeal.
The hilarious kickoff came when two leftist collectives – the Daily Kos
website and the California-based Courage Campaign Institute – set out
to buy an ad in the the L.A. Times to protest the Koch brothers
pondering a bid.

‘You Old Fox’: Magazine Grudgingly Notes Murdoch’s News Corp. Value Is ‘Soaring’
The latest cover of Bloomberg Businessweek promotes this theme: "You Old Fox: How Rupert Murdoch Survived -- And Profited From -- News Corp.'s Brush With Death." Felix Gillette's cover story is titled "The Escape Artist."
Gillette reported that Murdoch was "supposed to be finished," but today, "he survives at the helm of a global entertainment and publishing company that, far from being diminished, has soared in value," much to the dismay of the Left:
Rupert Murdoch: Capitalism Far More Moral Than Socialism
While most regular people don’t really know or care who he is, Rupert Murdoch is among a small handful of individuals who is most despised by the far left in this country. Unlike many others, he also has the great distinction of being loathed by exponents of socialism worldwide.
After reading (or watching) the speech which he recently gave to an Australian think tank called the Institute of Public Affairs about the moral superiority of free markets, it’s not hard to see why those who would enslave markets because they believe them to be based on greed would despise Murdoch, especially since he has the absolute temerity to dare to own newspapers, movie studios, and television channels across the globe.
Bozell Column: Conservatives Shouldn’t Own Newspapers? (Updated)
(Update: The Los Angeles Times told JimRomenesko.com that it never refused the Daily Kos ad, and that it would run in Wednesday’s paper. The dKos people submitted the ad through a “self-service portal” and were asked for more details. They say the ad was never refused.)

I kid you not, the ad began: “WE NEED NEWS, NOT MORE SPIN.” This would assume that today’s Los Angeles Times – which just endorsed Obama’s re-election – is an oasis of objectivity in a desert of media bias. They were outraged when the Times used their owner’s prerogative and refused to run the ad.

Chris Matthews Jokes About Rupert Murdoch Still Going Strong At 81: ‘Is That Good?’
Chris Matthews on Sunday actually joked about whether or not it was good that media mogul Rupert Murdoch is still going strong despite being in his 80s.
Not surprisingly, the panelists on the syndicated Chris Matthews Show also thought this was a hoot (video follows with transcript and commentary):
Murdoch’s KGB-Friendly Series
In August, Rupert Murdoch’s FX picked up a Cold War series set in the 1980s titled “The Americans.” Liberals might have braced themselves for the worst. It sounded like some kind of Chuck Norris-style “jingoistic” homage to freedom-loving intelligence agents. But this is Hollywood, so the show instead focuses on KGB spies who speak perfect English, working to destroy Reagan-era America, which is not altogether a bad thing to people in Hollywood.

The Hiring Hypocrisy At The New York Times
Mark Thompson, a former director-general of the British Broadcasting Corporation, began his new job Monday as president and CEO of The New York Times. The lack of embarrassment was remarkable. Thompson claimed he was the worst kind of ignorant buffoon, knowing nothing about the massive sex-abuse scandal – and then its censorship – that’s rocking the BBC.

Scotland Yard has been conducting a criminal investigation into allegations of child sex abuse by the late disc jockey and TV personality Jimmy Savile over six decades, describing him as a "predatory sex offender.” In mid-October, the metropolitian police stated they were pursuing over 400 lines of inquiry based on the testimony of 300 potential victims. Chris Patten, the head of the BBC’s government body called it “this great tsunami of filth.” BBC’s “Newsnight” was about to broadcast an expose last December – but BBC bosses spiked it, and incredibly, aired Christmas tributes to Savile instead.
No Surprise: Media Execs’ Donations Overwhelmingly Favor Obama, Democrats
While some sectors of the American economy have changed allegiances this presidential cycle in terms of their donations to the major political parties, one industry that hasn't changed its allegiances is media.
That probably doesn't come as a surprise to readers of this site but the numbers are still interesting nonetheless:
Fox News, ‘America’s Poison’?
The New York Times really loathes Rupert Murdoch. The Gray Lady almost achieved Nirvana on the front page the other day when a group of Laborites in the British Parliament asserted in a “damning report” that Murdoch was “not fit” for major media ownership. Bill Keller, recently the paper’s Executive Editor, devoted his latest column to Fox News with the headline “Murdoch’s Pride Is America’s Poison.”
