Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted July 19, 2011 BREAKING NEWS-Rupert Murdoch to step down as head of News Corp.Chase Carey to replace him http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/07/18/...132956220110718 Sensational stuff! No, the article headline says they "may" replace him.... To quote further, "The board of News Corporation is considering replacing Rupert Murdoch with Chase Carey as CEO of News Corporation, according to Bloomberg... The replacement of Murdoch, if it were to come to pass, would be a stunningly swift and humiliating exit for the media titan..." That aside, according to the article, this Chase Carey clown is the CEO of Fox Broadcasting so, of course, nothing will change in terms of news quality or blatant political bias were he handed the reins of the conglomerate.

First, his target is 80 years old and he missed. Secondly, he was beat up by a girl. All in all, it was a pretty miserable attempt. 4/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,146 Posted July 19, 2011 Surely I'm not alone in thinking that the whole pie incident may have been set up? I mean, come on, it was only a Tiswas-style flan, not a bottle of piss or worse. Cue public outrage at attack on frail 80 yr old man, brave defence by loyal and loving wife, headlines hijacked. Very clever. Bet pieman was well paid. Pass the sick bag.
