Moya Lázaro, Fernando.
Newspapers have always had great influence as opinion makers. Knowledge is power; and what Murdock’s empire has been doing is what every dominant culture has been doing since the world is world. Christianity was one of the first to control the information. At that time, if you wanted to know how to read, you had to go where a church was and read what they provided to you. If you wanted to improve your education you have to turn into one of them and belong ever since to the Latin Church. When European countries decided to take advantage of Africa, in what is called Imperialism and what should be called how to rip apart a whole continent to feed big fat greedy bellies, they used the innocence of the natives and twisting the news which they sent to Europe. A new era began with the creation of the USSR, manipulation was worst than never and many has learnt how to do it following the main lines. Like a genius at manipulation and control called Joseph Goebbels.
What do they all have in common with the Murdock’s empire? Well, all of them use whatever takes to achieve their objectives. It is incredible how the empire spread its tentacles in the crow, government and the police and that was in England; what about USA?.There had not been any USA president without the support of Murdock. What a lovely coincidence.
The empire did not stop until it reaches what it wants. But, what was the “empire” seeking? Money? The empire has enough that is for sure; so what? Power, the empire wants to be the opinion maker for excellence. If we read the articles we realize that the «empire» had nearly had the job done. Murdock has only lost a battle not the war, and he has many resources to make it possible.Yes, he was forced to close down News of the World, but it was a scapegoat like all the people who were arrested. Murdock’s empire has many newspapers, television channels and radios. Murdock’s empire has also many servants everywhere and they are so deep in the mood that they do what their master tells. There is no room for second thoughts in the «empire».
The royal family is a great deal but one can understand some tricks to get information, not all of them but some. But what happened with Milly Dowler is something so dark and dirty. I cannot imagine what crossed through the mind of the responsible of doing that. Playing with the hopes of the family only for… for what? This is my question; Why? It does not make any sense, people who has families, who know how hard is to be waiting for a child because he is two minutes late. But the emperor wants results and he is not going to wait too long for them. They had a choice but when the dark side is calling is really difficult to say no, eh Rupert…
