Murdoch lashes out at Obama and his "paymasters" over SOPA
January 16, 2012 20:08
What have we learned so far from Rupert Murdoch’s foray into Twitter? Exactly what most could have predicted: giving a cranky, octogenarian billionaire an outlet that can’t be censored is quite entertaining.

, During my sirceve in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. Taken in context, the sentence, despite some initial ambiguity, means that as a congressman Gore promoted the system we enjoy today, not that he could patent the science, though that's how the quotation has been manipulated. Hence the disingenuous substitution of inventing for the actual language. But the real question is what, if anything, did Gore actually do to create the modern Internet? According to Vincent Cerf, a senior vice president with MCI Worldcom who's been called the Father of the Internet, The Internet would not be where it is in the United States without the strong support given to it and related research areas by the Vice President in his current role and in his earlier role as Senator. The inventor of the Mosaic Browser, Marc Andreesen, credits Gore with making his work possible. He received a federal grant through Gore's High Performance Computing Act. The University of Pennsylvania's Dave Ferber says that without Gore the Internet would not be where it is today. Joseph E. Traub, a computer science professor at Columbia University, claims that Gore was perhaps the first political leader to grasp the importance of networking the country. Could we perhaps see an end to cheap shots from politicians and pundits about inventing the Internet?
This seemingly immortal monster has been hacking the phones of the families of those whose children have been murdered to get a good story for his newspapers, and here he is crying out for the elite at the top; who are literally drowning in their billions, trying to protect them from losing as much as a dime for the short time it takes to write a song or turn up to do a movie take. And why? Because he’s trying to protect his own multibillion dollar media marketing empire. All this at the expense of the little man on the street.
Are we going to allow this disgusting man and his elite buddies to ruin the internet as we know it; simply to further inflate their already over flowing bank accounts? I don’t think we are.
This man is the epitome of scum, and a true representa tive of the evil that our planet can well do without.
why isn't this POS in jail? After all he headed up a company that gee, stole content from peoples phones. Boycott New Corp. Boycott Fox, take all your garbage and throw it on his lawn.
My friend was working on apple and he changed his profession and life build career because he discovered the best method to get a ipad for free. Each problem which I have with iPad it's finished for me because my friend Tony helps me. After he told me the best method to get a free iPad, it always helps me with all sorts of questions I have. This is his job and I appreciate very much his website free-us-ipad.com . I hope that he will help you with your all questions. It is an amazing man. All my family got free iPads . It's a user proof category there if you don`t believe me. This man is my idol
As a Holocaust Denier - Won't bore you with the particulars. - I recently swithched to Gibiru because they say they don't censor stuff like Google does, though it looks like they get a alot of info from Google. There was quite an acrimonious dispute between Denier Bud, publisher of "Holocaust Denial Videos" and Youtube, owned by Google, a few years ago, about their censoring and ultimate removal of the about 30 hours of denier videos, which contain no overt POV problems and are in fact quite even-handed and informative, th ough the pueril and sophomoric videos uploaded as an antidote do, and they remain. So while Google is right to want a court order (assuming this is their gripe) before closing down someone's website on copyright grounds, their commitment to a free and open internet is not so sincere.
The entertainment industry makes way too much money off of us. Murdoch and many others have put so much money into it because as long as we keep watching the newest info about Britney Spears instead of what politicians are doing like him, then we remain oblivious to the crimes they commit. Why does the actress that just showed her stuff on tv get more money then the firefighters who just saved lives or the doctors that just saved lives. These real people in our world deserve more then any actor actress or any other entertainment faker. Football and other sports included. These people get so much money for doing nothing. Why is this and how is it right. We make this world work. We keep electric on, we keep food in stores, we keep products we need moving, yet, ... they get all the money. I think humans need to get their priorites straight.
Murdoch can afford to pump money into the pockets of politicians after hacking 1000s of peoples lives for stories. The man has no business complaining about IP rights when he has and probably still behaves like a unscrupulous scumbag. Politicians that take money from this guy are just as dirty.
If there was any law or justice in England he and his cronies would all be behind bars.
Throw a pie at this guy and in jail you go while he has effectively robbed and raped 1000s of their dignity, privacy and lives for nothing more than money.
Guys like him and his friends are why Britain is falling faster than bird droppings. Isnt David Cameron friends with this guy? Didn't Cameron nominate Fiona Shackleton who rips off her wealthy clients in divorce matters to the house of lords. Didnt Fiona Shackletons firm represent one of Murdoch s hackers? Upper class scum who are costing Britain their future. Low lives living the high life.
Lock him up and let him twitter from jail - he is a crook.
How about a global protest of Murdoch seems the law isn't going to do much with him - download/share anything and everything this fool has his hand in.
i'm tired of the "i searched for x and got y results" arguments. it doesn't mean anything. i searched for "free orange juice" and got 2mil+ results, yet my glass doesn't have free orange juice in it. how long have you been internetting?
SO the world just needs to boycot American policy. Build your own servers, ISP and re-create your own web.. America can block their stuff from their country just like China or North Korea do and the rest of the world will maintain our own web. Screw them to hell!!
The media mogul psychopath has a lot to hide. These traitors live in fear that their crimes will be revealed at any moment if the internet remains uncensored.
The man at the helm of the very ship that has destroyed the US's social welfare system, complaining that bankrolling movies is "risky". Cry in a fire, Rupe.
