"Murdoch wants to destroy the Labor Government to protect his commercial interests (Foxtel) and his declining newspapers."

An open, wholesale, fibre-to-the-premises NBN – the Labor version – would undermine the Foxtel business model by allowing new traditional-type pay TV providers and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) to compete on an even playing field in the pay TV marketplace.

haven't some audiences stopped listening to Murdoch some time ago? They know that his newspapers do not provide reliable information on which people can base their choices at election time.

"and his declining newspapers."

Print media revenue is being squeezed worldwide as readers and advertisers gravitate to internet-powered alternatives. Established media groups have no choice but to pull their print media operating costs down as they attempt to navigate a course to a sustainable digital media model.

Exacerbating unnecessarily the problem of the ideological bias of Murdoch's media is the fellow travelling status of the rest of the mainstream media.
For example, ABC's Radio National Brekky show is virtually a rehash of whatever is Murdoch's daily theme with a procession of right wing pundits, usually including a Murdoch representative, someone from the IPA or Grattan institute or similar, and then a polly or two to give a 'he said, she said" flavour [a couple of days ago we had both Katter and Robb on the same programme - dog knows why], all hung together with Fran's indomitable pro-COALition bias where Tony can do no wrong and Michelle Grattan agrees.

We, the Australian public, deserve better than this.

Rudd is about to about to get a working-over from the Murdoch Press. Orders from Rupert.

Rudd deserves it.

"Rudd deserves it."
Yes.
But we don't.
And, come to think of it, Abbott, and the COALition deserves it more.
