When I clicked on the link, I got a "thanks for your vote, please donate." When I tried to back out of that, using the URL, all I could get was a please donate page. I notice they accept from anywhere, so presumably they would welcome signatures, too? I would like to sign it.

He is buying up all of NBC and its affiliates and holdings, including MSNBC, although it hasn't gone through, yet.

We just watched the Australian movie, Black and White, based on real events. A young Murdoch was the moving force which brought the plight of Max Stuart, a young Aboriginal man, to worldwide attention and saved him from hanging for a crime he didn't do. The movie was well done and had an interview after with the now elderly Stuart who said he owed his life to Murdoch.

I thought the movie did a good job of showing the early beginnings of Murdoch's insatiable "eye" for using the news to promote and sensationalize in order to sell more papers. At first I was shocked when they introduced his character. I thought, "wow, I never knew he had such heart" but as it progressed it became obvious he cared more about his "product" than Stuart. Stuart was just a convenient story to tout. It was interesting to see the "seeds" of what he has become, imo.
