The FOURTH segment in one 60-minute show devoted to Rupert the Great's acquisition of Dow Jones. Another panel discussion, this featuring Scott Bleier, Tobin Smith, Gary B. Smith and Alexis Glick.

What you see in these four videos is the beginning of a long-term, strategic propaganda campaign against CNBC and its parent company General Electric.

Murdoch's malicious minions have begun to trash the names GE, CNBC and NBC.

This group of companies is clearly competition to News Corps and Murdoch has no qualms about requiring that his paid business analysts push an agenda that erodes confidence in his chief competitors.

This isn't news - business or otherwise.

With Murdoch, you get controlled news and back-stabbing gutter tactics, cleverly designed to weaken rivals and/or bring down any politician or person in power who doesn't dance to the Murdoch tune.

Neil Cavuto just couldn't get enough of this story (gee, I wonder why?).

This was the third segment on the topic of the News Corporation absorption of Dow Jones all in the same day. Cavuto's guest was Norman Pearlstine of the Carlyle Group, assuring everyone that the WSJ will be safe under Murdoch.

LOL!

In July 2007 Rupert Murdoch won the approval of the Bancroft family and his bid to take over Dow Jones - which includes the Wall Street Journal, MarketWatch, Factiva, etc. - became a certainty.

It remains to be seen if the rosy predictions expressed in these four videos will come to pass.

Help Outfox Murdoch on WSJ Sale

2008-04-24T08:31:33Z

Mediachannel.org picked up a story from the Wall Street Journal saying that Christopher Bancroft, a key member of the Bancroft family that owns the WSJ, is trying desperately to block its sale to media planet devourer, Rupert Murdoch.

He [Bancroft] has expressed to others his belief the family’s responsibility as stewards of Dow Jones should trump any monetary gain the family could reap from Mr. Murdoch’s rich offer. He has met with Dow Jones employees who have opposed the deal. In his only public comment about the deal, he said selling to Mr. Murdoch would endanger The Wall Street Journal’s independence and journalistic integrity. “Why would I risk that?” he said.

Bancroft will be facing an uphill battle to buy up enough shares to have 51% of the total votes, but there’s something you can do to help. If you happen to rub elbows with any of the Bancrofts as you mingle with the liberal power elite, try to get a copy of Outfoxed into their hands or tell them about our work at foxattacks.com or our canine sisters over at newshounds.us. Even if Murdoch’s politics and tactics weren’t as stinky as they are, media consolidation is a threat to free speech and democracy. Murdoch’s empire is bigger than Disney. It doesn’t need to get any bigger.
