We cats hope that Rupert Murdoch's apology tour has just begun.
He met yesterday with the family of Milly Dowler to beg forgiveness. And probably more than anyone else, they richly deserved to see him so humbled. Now we wonder, of course, if he'll do the same with Gordon and Sarah Brown, for violating their infant son's medical privacy. Somehow, we're not holding our breath on that one.
While we're at it, by the way, we'd also like Rupert Murdoch to meet with and apologize to us — and, actually, to all Americans — for all the lies, outrages and indignities foisted upon our national discourse by FOX "News." For ruining The Wall Street Journal. For pumping tons of money into shadowy organizations whose sole purpose is to corrupt our electoral process and bend it to his right-wing views. For myriad other crimes and offenses that we don't even know about yet.
We haven't said we'll forgive him. But we'd sure love to see him grovel.
