BBC Journalists Strike A Blow For Rupert Murdoch

by | 15th, July 2011

BBC journalists are on strike. Yeah – at the very moment when the Corporation is gloating over the death of the News of The World, and its favoured son Barack Obama is working feverishly to undo Rupert Murdoch’s right-wing Fox network in preparation to the next Presidential election – the BBC’s hacks are on strike.

Do Murdoch’s staff strike? Not any more. Do the Beeb’s civil servants strike? Yes.

You see, Rupert – the news cycle moves on…quickly.

Now, about that dodgy dossier…
