The Duke Watches "Outfoxed - Rupert Murdoch's War On Journalism"

What happened over the last week or so was that The Duke got to see a bunch of excellent documentaries. On account of the time required for to allow these mammoth sessions of talking heads, statistics, information and so on to sink in, I'm only getting around to yacking about it all right now.

Who knows where the hell to start with it all, so what I had to do was get a lift to, like, the twenty-fifth floor of some gothic dwelling of some sort and throw the whole lot of them out the damn window, and then see what ones hit the ground first. Turns out it was this number right here, being the number by the name of Outfoxed - Rupert Murdoch's War On Journalism.

Unlike Murdoch, the subject of the documentary in question, The Duke believes in "fair and balanced" reportage, free of the noxious stench of opinion, and so the following statement arrives free of any bias-related baggage on behalf of myself; Murdoch is a foul motherfucking scum-sack.

Some less ethical writers might wish to add stuff like "And he also smells of Satan", or maybe "Most likely, he fucking is Satan, Satan himself, awash with sulphur and reeking of corruption". Far be it from The Duke to endorse these sentiments.

Anyhow, Outfoxed goes to great lengths, via some really rather wonderful editing and such, to present to us this portrait of a republican mouthpiece masquerading as a news channel.

Fair And Balanced Man Says: "But dig this, ain't all 'publicans on the channel. Theresa some liberals there, too."

This is true. I guess we can give them a little leeway since if you look to the right of the butch, dapper, ever-so-handsome sons a bitches yacking about stuff like "43 days till Bush is re-elected", you can see this skinny cretin sniggering and trying not to annoy the big boys. Poke him with, I dunno, a mop-shaft or something and he might say something a bit further to the centre than these jock motherfuckers around him. Who knows?
