"Rupert Murdoch is the most successful right-wing radical of his era."
Murdoch has long made it clear that he regards government funded media like the
ABC and BBC to be unfair competition. There is just as much systematic
institutional bias in commercial media, if not more so, and that is the exact
reason statutory media are welcome alternatives - the argument that media with
opposing views should compete based purely on their income and circulation
presupposes that revenue or popularity are more important than accuracy or
value to society (not just to the reader).
