UPDATE TO THE FOX – MURDOCH – O.J. SIMPSON BOYCOTT:
Murdoch, this afternoon backed down and agreed to not air the O.J. non-confession and to not publish the book.
Thank goodness for the decency of the American people to stand up against Murdoch and O.J. Had this contest of wills gone another week, I personally believe that FOX and Murdoch would have suffered great losses. Ahhhhh, the internet is a powerful tool.
I just posted the following, in reply to Nora Ephron’s “SAY IT AIN’T SO, RUPE” at Huffington Post. (Thank goodness for Arianna Huffington over there. She is a genuine lioness – fearless.)Murdoch and O.J. Simpson deserve each other. They’re both skanky-like-skunks.
They are both out of touch with reality – the American zeitgeist – both of them thinking that O.J. is some loveable little teddy bear whose media image can be rehabilitated. (I shouldn’t be so harsh on them, as I, myself, was equally wrong as to the “Clean Up Charles Manson Projects” that have attempted to rehabilitate Manson’s image for years only to fail tragically time and again.)
What a tragedy it must seem to FOX Sports that the good American people simply won’t play their part in cleaning up O.J. Murdoch could almost hear O.J. again, up in the press box, screaming hysterically, “I thought I could cut and run, but just look at this mother____ fly!!”
Murdoch just doesn’t get it. He doesn’t seem to connect well with the American psyche. He and the neocon politicians he’s been pimping are out of touch with with the mainstream thought, as shown in the last elections. We hear from out of his mouthpiece, FOX News, that they are looking out for us, AS IF!
As if we need to be told by these skanky-like-skunk punks from FOX what is morally good for us. Listen to FOX news prattle on about how they know what’s best for us, and then watch them try to foist this Murdoch – O.J. off on us. No thanks, Rupe! We don’t need your skanky-ness guarding the hen house.
The American people were turning up the heat quickly on the boycott of FOX and Murdoch’s other companies. Murdoch, like a deer in the headlights, finally saw the lights – millions of us.
Good Cheer & Congratulations to Bloggers everywhere. You did it again.
Blessings to the Brown and Goldman families.
