STOP Rupert Murdoch's Digital Death Star.

Even as Michael Powell and the GOP sweep away long-standing media ownership safeguards, media mogul Rupert Murdoch is mobilizing to further expand his TV empire beyond broadcast and cable. His plans to acquire the key direct broadcast satellite service (DBS) – DirecTV – will allow Murdoch to advance his conservative political agenda, creating new channels and services that disseminate the rightwing ideology now espoused by Fox News....

2. Why didn't you post your FOX News petition here

instead of burying it in a discussion about the temporary GD rules?

I think that DU is the perfect place to post this, since the unbalanced reporting on FOX News is a recurring theme here. I'm sure a petition protesting this would generate a lot of interest.

I have posted two petitions in the last week, both of them in this forum. I think that your petition would be more appropriately posted here and certainly more people would see it. This is just a suggestion, but I'm sure that you want to gather as many signatures as possible. I'll certainly sign!:-)
