    There's compulsory voting in Australia, Felch.
    "You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

      Murdoch had a very sus meeting of editors just before the election. There is little doubt he sets the editorial line, those that don't toe it are quickly removed, which is exactly what happened after that meeting. It's silly to deny it.
      Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

      Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

        So Murdoch apparently met Newscorp editors about an election, a major media event from which his newspapers could stand to gain a lot of money.
        No editor has left the organisation nor made any claim that he was threatened.
        In past elections Murdoch's newspapers have endorsed both Liberal and Labor candidates depending on the preferences of the editors. These editors have disagreed amongst themselves about their preferred candidates. In this election Murdoch's newspapers seem to prefer the Liberals. So too do most voters. 7
        Where is the evidence for your view AH?

          I don't need "my" evidence, it is common knowledge

            It's very easy for owners to influence editorial policy and we know he has a long, long history of doing just that.

              No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.
