Mr Murdoch, who is also the chief executive of BSkyB, 39.1 per cent owned by News Corp, made clear that he believed that broadcasters such as Sky should be freed from the long-standing requirement to produce impartial news.

He argued that “the mere selection of stories and their place in the running order is itself a process full of unacknowledged partiality”. The impartiality rule was “an impingement on the freedom of speech”.

Even if it's just to wait for the first scenario, even if we never expose anything or win any fight, at least we might still be standing when everything else crumbles. If anyone else wants to act before then, it'll be their choice.

That is what tends to happen here, because we are such a small market. But we have regulations (don't you just love em) on how much of a percentage of the media you can own. Otherwise Rupert Murdoch would be President.
