Twat of the Week: Rupert Murdoch

This man evidently likes to think of himself as a newspaperman, but anyone who has ever seen one of his absurd rags like The Sun or the late, unlamented News of the World knows how ridiculous this claim is.  At best these papers were salacious scandal sheets out to dish the dirt on celebrities, overpaid footballers and anyone else anyone might have heard of.  Headlines like "Gotcha!" and "Freddy Starr Ate my Hamster" and countless others are a disgrace and embarrassment if not to himself then to the UK and the publishing industry and only good for lining my cat litter basket or using when I run out of toilet paper.  Murdoch has desperately tried to buy respectability by purchasing papers like The Wall Street Journal and The Sunday Times, but I'm sorry Rupert, respectability is one thing you'll never have - decent people can smell you coming a mile away!
