I do not think fairness applies to opinion. It should apply to facts and how those facts create truth.

MEDIA CONSOLIDATION IS FOR BLCKHEADS

The year Murdoch bought Harper & Row, to cement the publishing part of his propaganda tripod, along with broadcasting and newspapers.

Set the wayback machine, indeed, and shove a box of Judith Regan’s books under the publishers’ snouts, then lock them in a room with sick bags with Rupert’s face on them.
