More advice sought over Murdoch’s Sky takeover

Wednesday 9^th

posted by Morning Star in Britain

THE government is seeking further advice from Ofcom on Rupert Murdoch’s £11.7 billion bid to take over Sky, having received “new evidence and comments.”

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has written to the competition watchdog ahead of a decision from Culture Secretary Karen Bradley on whether the proposed merger should face in-depth investigation.

The move follows previous warnings from Ofcom about “public interest concerns” relating to media plurality.

It said that Murdoch-owned 21st Century Fox’s acquisition of the 61 per cent of Sky that it doesn’t own would risk giving the media tycoon “increased influence” over Britain’s news agenda.

The DCMS said it is “seeking further clarification in relation to representations made on the Secretary of State’s referral decision.”

The DCMS has given Ofcom until August 25 to reply.

Murdoch Among the Most Corrupt Oligarchs in the World

Uploaded on Jun 11, 2015

Bill Black Report: The Murdoch empire, including his son James, is riddled with scandals, corruption and bribery, but rest assured that even your grandchildren will be Murdoched.

"...BLACK: Yes, and more generally, indeed I just gave a talk on this. I called it in the United Kingdom an oligopoly of oligarchs. So Murdoch all by himself owns newspapers that have over 40 percent of the total readership in the United Kingdom. And his ownership in radio and television has similar percentages. So there are six media owners in the United Kingdom that have 80 percent of the readership and 80 percent of the viewership on television, and whatever you call listeners in radio. So that's six billionaires control overwhelmingly the news content. And they are overwhelmingly ultra-conservative supporters of the most extreme elements of the Tories...."

From TPM - the toxic Fox Effect

More on the Fox Effect, Part 3

JOSH MARSHALL – APRIL 21, 2014, 2:18 PM EDT8044

An interesting spin on the Fox Effect story from TPM Reader TB, on how Fox News turned his mother against Oprah ...

The note you shared about the Fox effect I think is something that really should be taken quite seriously. My parents are similar to what most people have discussed here. They actually would never use racial epithets around us, probably not at all, but there was definitely a feeling of African-American’s being dangerous and out for trouble presented by them. Thank goodness that as we as a country evolve, I think so do these views, but obviously we still have a long way to go.

But back to the Fox News Effect, my mother has always been a huge Oprah fan, I think pretty much since she saw the movie “The Color Purple”. She read a lot of her book recommendations and would watch her show religiously. So I was shocked last week when I mentioned something about Oprah and she said flatly “I don’t like her”.

After a moment, I realized that this must have come about from the trashing ofOprah from Fox News because of her endorsement of Obama in the 2008 election. I tried to press her on the issue asking why but she wouldn’t go into detail other than “I don’t care for her anymore”.

It is like she thought Oprah had betrayed her. And that is when I came to the exact same conclusion as your previous commenter. Fox News is absolutely toxic. You take an older generation that grew up watching the new as the be all end all source of information and truth, and now inject the “entertainment” factor of slick talking hosts with a political agenda, and you wind up with people like my mother who can inexplicably turn against someone they have respected and adored for 30 years simply because of the hatred and bile presented on Fox News is taken at face value. It seems the only purpose of the Channel is to drive people to fear and hate that which they don’t know. I wish it weren’t so and I only hope that the trends of younger generations being more tolerant will continue to grow.
