'Fair and balanced'? Good riddance

Editor, Index-Tribune:

 

The crumbling of Rupert Murdoch's media empire is a huge boon to mankind worldwide. Imagine: that God-awful propaganda machine that redefines bottom-feeding for conservatives and idiots (same thing), silenced! All Fox, New York Post, Wall Street Journal, and many others internationally, all gone. It couldn't come fast enough. Then balance, intelligence and journalism will win. "Fair and balanced"? If it's fair to balance truth with lies, smart with stupid, thoughtful with reactionary, extreme with centrist, then good riddance, Rupe! But now who'll cover Palin and Bachmann?
