Well, you knew this had to happen. The American right wing is getting all umbrage-y over coverage of the Murdoch scandal. (Guys, take it from us — when you find yourself complaining that too much attention is being paid to a story, you're on the wrong side of history.)
And — what a story! Since we cats last posted, Murdoch "daughter" Rebekah Brooks was arrested, the head of Scotland Yard resigned, and now, his number-two guy has also stepped down. (Not to mention the News of the World whistle-blower who's just been found dead at home. Hmmm!)
This latest wave of Murdoch misfortune is like the Saturday Night Massacre, Bush Senior's "Read My Lips" speech, and Election Day 2008 all happening at once. And there's no end in sight. Which means that Rupie's stateside excusers have started manning the barricades.
Check out these fools from FOX "News," whining that the media are "piling on." We cats particularly love the part where they cast Citigroup and Bank of America as hacking victims equal to a murdered 13-year-old. "Put this behind us"? "Move on"? Hilarious. Clearly Roger Ailes rushed Rupie's pathetic talking points to these guys, who parroted them like bad actors at a phone-sex audition.
Wait till David Cameron resigns. Will FOX cover it? Maybe not.
We cats PURR.
