I'm baaaack, Uncle Rupert!
Beliefnet has been purchased by Fox Entertainment, meaning Your Working Boy, ex-New York Postie, is once again part of the Murdoch family. This is good for Beliefnet, trust me. Murdoch is an Internet visionary, and his deep pockets will only...
Nice job of sucking up to the boss. :)
Hmm...now did Rod write that?
"I have absolutely no fear at all that Team Rupert will in any way dictate content"
Yes, because Rupe is famous for the amount of freedom he gives his editors, right?
Rod! come on... don't you know that Murdoch is part of the Bushitler conspiracy!? Remember Halliburton? Enron?! Katrina? Blackwater? The Lindberg kidnapping? The Neocons? He's talked to Dick Cheney in the past too! And I heard he read the Weekly Standard once too... Check out dailyleftwingnutskos.com for the updates on all this! aaaaaaah!
We pray, you dei-cide!
Coming soon-When Bloggers Attack!
Ah, yes, Capitalism. The One True Faith.
Fox and beliefnet - a match made in heaven!
It could be worse ... Rod could have worked for livejournal, which Six Apart just sold to the Russians (SUP.)
I'm not sure how someone with high moral and ethical standards could take money from Rupert Murdock even with a guarantee content would not be interfeared with.
Murdock has built his empire on lowest common denominator consumerism. If money from this source is not tainted, what money is beyond the pale.
Just as long as he doesn't merge the adult Bnet with the kiddie MySpace ...

I am sooooo hanging out with Jesus, he's got like 1 billion friends on his BeliefSpace page
One thing is sure, the Fox network is making it more clear daily that they have a bias based on religious affiliation. They never stopped suggesting Mitt Romney get out of the race, ever since Iowa, but never suggested Mike Huckabee should get out, especially now when Huckabee is hurting the process, after Romney in a principled move for the good of the party bowed out of the race. Fox is not fair and balanced, they are as biased as the liberal media, maybe even more so, but it's an evangelical bias by my calculation. I've watched intently for weeks, and the way the information is presented makes it very clear.
I dislike the liberal media for it's bias, I really dislike them, their unfair practices compromise our constitutional election process, which is useless without clear information from which to choose a position or candidate. I have to feel the same about the Murdock bias in the fox network. I assume it's Murdock this garbage comes from, as he has a history of pushing his own preference through his sources, and it seems much of this is based on religion. Religious based denominational bias is so much more ugly than bias by those we know are supposed to be biased. It violates their own core principals and is a height of hypocrisy.
The truth will set us free, but none of the media, including the Murdockian model it seems, is willing to tell the unbiased truth. Murdock's coverage of the primaries presents a product, which is ultimately a lie, and this is what a free countries electorate is supposed to base their votes? their only source of real power on? It is a very sad situation.
