Merchant of Truth- Rupert Murdoch

The mainstream media on the grand scale can be summed up by the fact that perhaps its most powerful individual, Rupert Murdoch, is also the world's most powerful ever pornographer, through, at least this side of the Atlantic, his Sky television network, proudly flooding the ordinary home with his many adult channels. Which contains more truth- Mr Murdoch's 'news' or pornography disseminations is a difficult question, but the answer by default probably the porn; it not making much in the way of claims to being anything more than itself, whereas the truth versions of his news distributions alleging to reflect reality in quite a real manner.
Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony anointed the great fascist pornographer Murdoch and his wife as members of the Pontifical Order of St. Gregory the Great in January, 1998. This knighthood, bestowed on behalf of the pope, is given to persons of "unblemished character" who have "promoted the interests of society, the [Catholic] Church and the Holy See [Vatican]."
We understand it wasn't so much his services to fascism or pornography that earned Murdoch the great honour, but his religious faith and subservience to that faith in both thought and action. One also assumes his sex-shows mustn't do anything in the way of encouraging the use of contraceptives.
