Rupert Murdoch's control

It's good to hear what the actual situation is with his control over the various sources he owns, but to hear that Sky News would be like Fox News if they listened to him really does him no favours at all. I'd think that as long as it doesn't have the slightest hint of Fox News it will continue growing.

I agree with what you say 100% Face.
I have not seen any coverage of this at all over here, but that doesn't surprise me. But I could just be missing it.
