Wall Street Journal to Become Faux News in Print


The Republic Party's stranglehold on truth in the media just became stronger today with the announcement that Faux News owner Rupert Murdoch is purchasing the Wall Street Journal.

We can thank the Republic Party members of the Congress for steadfastly supporting legislation that ensures virtually no restrictions on the ownership of media outlets in the nation. Clear Channel, an avowed Reich wing mouthpiece owns more than 1,000 radio stations in the country. Not surprisingly many of them carry Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage and other hate speech mongers.

Now, with no way to block the sale of the Wall Street Journal by claiming it is not in the best interests of the public, Murdoch adds another outlet to his kingdom. Not many people outside of the New York area read his worthless "New York Post" but now with him calling the shots on the world-wide distributed Wall Street Journal, Murdoch's brand of venom will spread further around the globe. I only wonder if he'll name Roger Ailes to be the editor of the WSJ, ensuring that the voice of the wing nut branch of the Republic Party is heard over and over and over each and every day.

Wake up Sheeple. The nuts are now running the asylum and we are paying the price.
