News of the World boycott


Proud to be a Ford owner as they drop the despicable Murdoch rag from their advertising schedule, and as other notable companies join in, we have police corruption hitting the headlines. I have therefore decided to boycott the Met police force ufn.

I am proud to have been a Murdoch boycotter for as long as I can remember.

Ah, but who's going to give up Sky? Or any of the other Murdoch rags?

.."above us only Sky; maybe I'm just a dreamer, but I'm not the only one..."

Tricky to like watching sport and not do Sky, but there really is no point in buying The Sun or The Times anymore.

Re: News of the World boycott


The problem with Sky and its sports coverage is that by virtue of it being the grossest earning television company in the country it can outbid all other channels thereby creating a virtual monopoly. It's like being gazumped for every house you ever put in an offer on. This is the way Murdoch built his global empire and the NOTW debacle is a symptom of Murdochese management, we can do what we want because everyone (including governments) is beholden to us because of our media reach which overarches everything. It is often said by many that the problem with football in particular is the money, then it begs the question where does that money come from? The answer is Sky. It's not by mistake that Silvio Berlusconi modelled his media empire on Murdoch's. If you can control huge tracts of the media you can influence the outcomes and effects of issues that pertain to your businesses and you can get the public to pay for it by being the only viable show in town.
