The phone-hacking thing barely scratches the surface. It's almost a distraction.
Instead, my problem is with the deluge of crass, misinformed, culturally-erosive absolute shit that is peddled by the so-called right-wing media, reigned over by Murdoch. He is, clearly, a man with few scruples and is possibly more accountable than any other individual for our pathetic, bullying, sexist, racist, homophobic and generally unpleasant media. A media that does nothing to raise the quality of public life, despite the godlike leverage it is capable of exerting when it feels like it. For profit. In short, he is a cunt and ought to have the book thrown at him. Instead, we (or rather the weak, malleable authorities) allow his organisation to flout expectations about monopoly and fairness that would impede you or I should we ever arrive at such a juncture. Because he has money and, in turn, power. To anyone civilised, he is a villain.
I should like to deposit a stool in his lavatory and leave without flushing the chain.
