The row over News Corp. has gained wide notice in the UK and here in the United States. But on Fox News Watch - Fox News' purported media criticism show - the big media scandal wasn't covered at all, fitting a pattern of the show avoiding Fox-connected scandals.

Host Jon Scott responds but it's not clear what he's saying because FoxNews.com's video cuts him off in mid-sentence. Scott states: "I don't know, I just -- I wasn't all that -" before the video ends.

Media Matters' Joe Strupp contacted panelist Judy Miller, who was on the program, to ask if they were talking about the phone-hacking scandal. Miller said: "I have no idea what Cal meant. Cal says a lot of things. Whatever it is, whenever he says he doesn't want to talk about it, I usually say, 'Not with a ...'. It's just a little routine."

When asked if she had any comment about how the show handled the topic, Miller declined to comment.

But that isn't going to happen. If Murdoch gets in trouble he can always find plenty of wealthy American buyers for his propaganda outlet.

I can imagine Koch Bros. buying it and keeping the pollution on the airways.

if Murdick is required to sell off his propaganda organ, it may fall into the hands of amateurs who make amateurish mistakes when they try to rebuild the mechanisms of power, control & surveillance...and people like David Brooks of Media Matters will be watching.
