  • No, their options were capitulate or be replaced by someone more willing to bend the knee.

    I’m not giving them a free pass, I’m being realistic.

    If you were the boss of the news corp would you rather be responsible for the unemployment and potential death or harassment of your staff, or wait for the fall of a dictatorship and make sure the people you employ can survive?

    Once again, hate that I have to clarify, but I am NOT giving them a pass for spreading propaganda, I am glad that they now have both the ability and integrity to say “We were used by the government to spread propaganda, and we apologise”

    Which isn’t something I could ever imagine the news corps of the western world doing.

    It’s a step in the right direction, much like the first step to sobriety, it doesn’t make the harm an addict committed while abusing substances right, but it shows a willingness to become better.




  • True. In my eyes it’s a step in the right direction. One that I haven’t seen from any other news corp worldwide.

    At the very least it’s an admission that the previous government had such tight control over them that they couldn’t fight against it without being entirely shut down, much in the same way news corps with professional standards on reporting are shut down and drowned out in other countries.
