However, as he surveys the empire that he built he must be bitterly disappointed with the tunnel-blind miscreants he employs. Their obsessive, knee-jerk hostility to all things liberal has clouded their judgment in ways that harm the very interests they are being paid to serve. The result is a rash of friendly fire from within the ranks of Murdoch&#8217;s menagerie.<\/p>\n<p>The first casualty is a victim in the Limbaugh-induced war of indecency. Intent on spreading blame to everyone but Limbaugh, Fox News has embarked on a crusade against any liberal (or perceived liberal) who may have said something controversial. It commenced with a Fox favorite for vilification, Bill Maher, but has now extended to comedian Louis CK. Fox News host Greta Van Susteren was so incensed that Louis CK was tapped to provide the comic relief at the annual Radio and Television Correspondents Association dinner that she publicly protested, called him a pig, and declared that she was initiating a boycott of the event. Subsequently, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/louis-ck-pulls-radio-television-298151\" target=\"_blank\">Louis CK dropped the gig<\/a>. This is an unwelcome birthday gift for Rupert because the comedian also happens to be the star of <em>&#8220;Louis&#8221;<\/em> on his FX cable channel.<\/p>\n<p>Next up is the battle between Fox News contributors. Tucker Carlson, one of said contributors, <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2012\/03\/08\/a-sin-worse-than-murder\/\" target=\"_blank\">wrote an editorial<\/a> on his DailyCaller blog that attempted to illustrate a hypocrisy in the media coverage of the Limbaugh controversy. Unfortunately, Carlson chose to include in his example the former LAPD officer Mark Furhman, who is best known for his use of racial epithets that was disclosed during the OJ Simpson trial. Carlson mocked Furhman as a pariah who is probably out of work, and deservedly so because <em>&#8220;Nobody wants to be seen with a bigot.&#8221;<\/em> The problem is that Furhman is actually employed by the same Fox News that employs Carlson. So not only is Carlson seen with Furhman, they are colleagues. All one big happy family of bigots. That can&#8217;t be making Rupert&#8217;s birthday any more joyful.<\/p>\n<p>This is just the sort of thing that can occur when people are so blinded by their prejudices that they lose all sight of anything but their determination to harm their perceived enemies. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=1725\" target=\"_blank\">ultimate example<\/a> of this mental defect occurred when Glenn Beck called Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal a terrorist. Alwaleed is the second largest shareholder of News Corp stock outside of the Murdoch family, and a close friend and business partner of Murdoch.<\/p>\n<p>So anyway, happy birthday, Rupert. And good luck with that loathsome collection of reprobates you call a news team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations are in order for Mr. Rupert Murdoch, the Chairman and CEO of News Corp, who turns 81 today.
