I see NO sense in trying to reason with someone who WON'T listen to

Just Google "Ruppert Murdock", but you won't, because YOU won't listen

reason.

You can't even spell his name correctly.

BFD, it's Murdoch instead of Murdock.

He controls 90% of the media, that is a fact.

Bollocks. And besides which, it's a non-sequitor, unless you're implying
that Murdoch and his minions are also in on the conspiracy with the
other thousands required in a typical kook konspiracy scenario.

Check it out. I bet you won't
bother to check.

Please credible evidence for this claim.

Besides over 300 newspapers, movie studios, and cable channels he closed a
deal with China.

Molded under the watchful eye of Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. continues to
evolve and serve as a model for the modern vertically integrated media
conglomerate. Aided by the acquisition of 20th Century film studio, News
Corp. went from primarily a newspaper company in Australia and England to an
influential force in American media. The Fox Network broke ground in the
late 1980s as the first successful broadcast network to break through
against the powerful Big 3. Recently, viewership for its Fox News Network
surpassed the once formidable CNN. This proved to be another sign that
American viewers favor News Corp.'s irreverent style.

You live in a fantasy to think you have an unbiased media. Now run away

and

hide from the facts.

Alex Jones is unbiased?

Everybody is biased. That is why freedom of the press is so important to a
free society.
You need to hear from all sides of the fence to form an informed opinion.
How can voters make the right choice if all they hear is from the Murdoch
machine ?
