My Space...one place where Murdoch's Golden Touch failed him. www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-ct-myspace11-2010feb11,0,7062907.story Speaking of gloating over someone dying, if that's what we do in here, I'm preparing for a killer Gloatapalooza when this SOB gets the big visit from Mr. D. Of course, I might go first...

JD, I read the Wiki and this is nothing like the Cuban I know. I’ll see if I can find some stuff on another side of Cuban. He self-identifies as libertarian: From: www.theadvocates.org/celebrities/mark-cuban.htmlThis is a libertarian advocacy site. Wikipedia for the most part is a terrific place to start in any research. The trick is to follow the citations to the original sources.

Time to recycle this thread and broaden it to cover all the corrupt CEO's. I posted this thread in current events but here might be better. www.nytimes.com/2010/04/08/us/08blankenship.html?hp"Though miners often grumble about the black helicopter Mr. Blankenship uses to get around the state, he is quick to portray himself as just like the people who work for his company. Last year, he hosted a huge July 4 celebration for workers, with Ted Nugent as the headline act. " I think that indicates what this guy is all about...

www.thenation.com/blogs/notion/552482/fox_news_ignores_rupert_s_clean_little_secret"The conservative media mogul might well have gone the way of Fox's big anti-eco egos, but as Murdoch explained in the speech, his native Australia "is suffering its worst drought in 100 years." Not to mention the influence of his liberal wife, Wendi, and his son (and heir apparent) James, "who converted me." "Murdoch seems as much in the dark about Fox's Neanderthal stance on the environment as he is about its deep complicity in far-right politics." How much longer will Fox skew far right? Is Roger Ailes in jeopardy? Stay tuned...

Sean Hannity was scheduled this week to appear with Michelle Bachmann and Ms Sarah in Cincinnati at a tea party event, and was planning to broadcast his TV show from there. Even Murdoch realized how bad this was, and he called and order Hannity back to New York. Sean went back like the little twerp he is. When Murdock realizes how bad it looks for FOX to be so actively involved in politics. you know it is bad.

He does like to make money - Fox News Channel is a huge money maker for Murdoch.

Or it could be he's just another amoral businessman.

No, folks _ASSUME_ he is conservative because of Fox News Channel. He is a business man first and knows what sells. He has been correct relative to Fox News.

Amoral because he created a venue that does not cherry pick the news and spin it out of control? Because he has a mixture of left and right? Because things righties do are now covered whereas the Government controlled media refuses to cover them?

Aw, don't try to tell me a news network with Roger Ailes in charge is fair and balanced, more like fairly unbalanced. If Murdoch is a liberal and hires Ailes he is what I said.

As has been said over and over again: Geraldo Shep Alan Greta (center) etc Lefties Even on the opinion shows - the lefties are allowed to speak their minds and counter righties. BOR - has left and right and sometimes he will have double left against him (although I would not call him a rightie) Hannity has left and righties on his panels and interviews them as well. Greta has both as well - with more of a left lean. I do not see that on the Government Owned Media.
