The Tea Party teaches us that you don't have to make sense, just put the attention on the clever people, the hated clever people and their desire to take our jobs disguised as environmental concerns, their desire to take our freedom disguised as concerns for a better society.
Murdoch says he's sorry he let the public down, he doesn't think he fulfilled the newspaperman's duty to the public. I did a google to get his exact words, I didn't find them, I did notice a thrown cream pie was the big issue to come out of the hearing. I think a news organisation has a duty to give a balanced account of issues, otherwise democracy suffers, everything suffers. The hacking of celebrities phones, even thrown cream pies seem a small matter compared to this.
I hope some people in NZ aren't inspired to do their own experiments in how low they can go, I fear they will, rabble rouser is a lucrative niche.
