Rupert Murdoch: Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose?

This little clip of a puppet Rupert Murdoch, having an editorial with his vulturous editors, is almost as fresh today as it was twenty-five years ago, when it first aired on the satirical sketch show Spitting Image.

Is it a surprise that twenty-five years ago Murdoch was seen as a ghastly, untrustworthy, muck-raking shit?

How could anyone have forgotten?

The fact that so many did, and the fact that Murdoch became so very, very powerful over those twenty-five years, fully underlines the extent to the unhealthy and undemocratic relationship maintained by past governments with the media tycoon.

Surprising how quickly some people forget.

Let’s make sure we don’t.
