Whilst an aging publication now, try reading Keith Windshuttles "The Media". Worth a read on how media organisation influence public perception and in particular Rupert Murdocks influence of all things. In particular the ability to influence the outcome of elections.

I would suggest all are false statements, it would from a syllogistic logic point of view seem to follow the correct analysis. Though it would depend your individual point of view I suppose; I don't know if a couple of statements are false, however logic says they would be (ownership and award of contracts). Murdoch does nothing in the public interest and only in his own interests. We are merely pawns in the game in which he is playing. It's all about the biggest pile of money and power it attains and who he can elect to power to attain those ends. He is well documented as being a king maker not only here but in other parts of the world.

Interesting idea to demonstrate a mode of thinking. Are you aware you have been using a syllogism to make your point Clive? Us lawyers equate it to pure logic or if you like Vulcan logic.
