| Quote: | Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation has come to a tentative agreement on a takeover offer for Dow Jones, the Wall Street Journal has said.
The Dow Jones-owned newspaper said the $5bn (£2.5bn) bid would now go to Dow's board of directors for approval.
News Corp launched the surprise bid for Dow Jones in May.
Since then, Mr Murdoch's company has been battling to reassure sceptics that the paper's independence will be maintained under New Corp's ownership. |

He really is extending the network of corruption now, and if the deal becomes sealed we're looking at even greater challenges than we're already facing.  Who knows, there could even be another great crash or a major manufactured security compromise to the fiscal system and the NWO will say:
"Don't worry, we've taken control! There is now no more cash, and all money will have be stored in your new micro-chips, yes the ones we'll have to inject you with. Really, it's for the best, that way your money will be safe". Yeah Right!
Just thinking aloud. |

| Quote: | Murdoch wins fight for Dow Jones
Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch has won his battle to buy US media giant Dow Jones, publisher of the Wall Street Journal.
His News Corporation firm has secured the deal for $5.6bn (£2.7bn), or $60 a share - a 65% premium to Dow's share price before the bid was announced.
The agreement comes after Mr Murdoch received the required level of support from the Bancroft family, who hold the majority of Dow Jones' shares.
It ends the Bancrofts' 100-year stewardship of the Dow Jones.
The offer was approved by members of the Bancroft family who collectively owned 37% of Dow Jones' voting stock. |

Just One Example Of Who
'They' Are In Media
From Ted Twietmeyer
8-1-7
The next time someone challenges you for using the phrase "they control the media" you can give them a very specific, accurate answer.
It is "they" who control the influential and popular websites, news and media. Also interesting in the list are websites and cable news channels well known for practicing outright censorship are here, too.
And they OWN myspace.com, too.
Here are the facts about News Corporation.
News Corp. has recently announced a desire to buy The Wall Street Journal. And at the top of the Board of Directors is Ruppert Murdoch.

Murdoch (and Maxwell before him) sound Scottish.

| Quote: | | Rupert Murdoch was born to a jewish family on March 11, 1931 in Victoria, Australia |
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Murdoch
| Quote: | Murdoch “became an American citizen for business reasons,” according to Richard H. Curtiss, editor of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. Keith Rupert was born in Melbourne, Australia, on March 11, 1931. “Rupert’s father, Sir Keith Murdoch, was a newspaper publisher, and his mother an Orthodox Jew,” Curtiss wrote, “although Murdoch never offers that information in his biographies.”
Murdoch’s father married Elisabeth Joy Greene, daughter of Rupert Greene in 1928. They had one son, Keith Rupert and three daughters. Later in life, Keith Rupert chose to use Rupert, the first name of his Jewish maternal grandfather. |
| Quote: | Murdoch belongs to, and has been honored by, a number of leading Zionist organizations in which Silverstein, Lowy, and Eisenberg all hold senior positions. These organizations include the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the United Jewish Appeal (UJA), and the New York-based Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust.
Fifty days before 9/11, Silverstein Properties and Lowy’s Westfield America secured 99-year leases on the WTC. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey turned control of the World Trade Center over to the private hands of Silverstein and Lowy on July 24, 2001.
Silverstein and Lowy then took control of the 10.6 million-square-foot complex, which included the twin towers office buildings and two nine-story office buildings. Silvestein and the former Israeli commando Lowy then controlled all access to the World Trade Center. |
| Quote: | | “Murdoch is a close friend of Ariel Sharon,” Sam Kiley, The Times (UK) veteran journalist on the Middle East wrote about the man who took over the once famous British paper. Kiley said Murdoch’s friendship with the Israeli prime minister had caused senior staff at the paper to rewrite important copy. |

And this man now controls wall street. As for Maxwell's House...
| Quote: | | Robert Maxwell was born Ján Ludvík Hoch in the small town of Slatinské Doly, Carpathian Ruthenia, the easternmost province of pre-World War II Czechoslovakia (now part of Slatina-Doly (in Russian Solotvino [Солотвино]) Ukraine, 47°57′39.0″N, 23°52′25.00″E) into a poor Yiddish-speaking Jewish family. |

Q&A: Dow Jones takeover

That means all the decent investigations of the Wall Street Journal will be spiked then.
Murdoch admits he decides the political stance of his newspapers
Nov 24, 2007
LONDON (AFP) — News Corporation chief Rupert Murdoch has admitted that he has editorial control over which political party The Sun backs in a general election.
Murdoch added that the same applies for News of the World, The Sun's sister weekly tabloid, and on which political line the newspapers take over Britain's role in Europe, according to minutes of a cross-party interrogation of the media tycoon published late Friday.
In 1992, after the Conservatives won the British general election, The Sun's front page boasted: "It was the Sun wot won it." In 1997, The Sun instructed its readers to vote Labour and indeed later that year the party won re-election after almost two decades in opposition.
Murdoch's comments on editorial control came in evidence he gave behind closed doors on September 17 in New York to the House of Lords Communications Committee.
The cross-party grouping of members of the House of Lords were in the United States, where Murdoch is based, as part of an inquiry into media ownership and the news.
Outlining Murdoch's account of his approach to the editorial content of his British papers, the committee minute stated:
"For The Sun and News of the World he explained that he is a 'traditional proprietor'. He exercises editorial control on major issues - like which party to back in a General Election or policy on Europe."
It added: "Mr Murdoch did not disguise the fact that he is hands-on both economically and editorially.
"He says that 'the law' prevents him from instructing the editors of The Times and The Sunday Times. The independent board is there to make sure he cannot interfere and he never says 'Do this or that' although he often asks 'What are you doing?'.
Murdoch recently won a battle for Dow Jones Co. and its prized The Wall Street Journal and his News Corp. owns satellite-broadcasters and more than 100 newspapers worldwide.
In the United States, Murdoch's News Corp. owns the Fox News Channel, the New York Post newspaper, the Fox film studios and television network and the rapidly growing Internet social networking site, MySpace.
His holding company also owns satellite broadcasters including British-based BSkyB, Sky Italia of Italy and the Asian-based Star TV. Other holdings include The Australian newspaper and the US-based book publishing giant HarperCollins.

Insider Trading and the Perils of Pillow Talk
John Reed Stark, chief of the office of Internet enforcement at the Securities and Exchange Commission who has worked on some of the cases, told The New York Times that the agency had filed seven cases against married couples so far this year, including one involving the sale of Dow Jones & Company to the News Corporation, controlled by Rupert Murdoch. There was only one similar case in all of 2006.
Respect the US, urges Murdoch
By Janet Fyfe-Yeomans - November 15, 2006 01:00am
ANTI-Americanism is on the rise in Australia, fuelled by the unpopularity of the Iraq war among young people, Rupert Murdoch said last night.
Speaking in Sydney, Mr Murdoch warned Australians against allowing doubts about the US administration to fester into an irrational antipathy that saw America as a greater threat to world peace than al-Qaeda.
"Australians must resist and reject the facile, reflexive, unthinking anti-Americanism that has gripped much of Europe," said Mr Murdoch, chairman and chief executive of News Corporation, parent company of the publisher of NEWS.com.au.
Addressing a star-studded audience, including Prime Minister John Howard, at the inaugural American Australian Association benefit dinner, Mr Murdoch said America had to work to address criticisms that it took Australia too much for granted "and not come calling only when in need".
"Australian sentiment is thankfully nowhere near Europe's level of hostility - but it could get there, and it mustn't," Mr Murdoch said.....
