Overreach?

At long last, things may be catching up with one crooked plutocrat...
... And his crooked media empire.

The corporation doth protest too much? Here's a 1977 ad I happened upon here.
Interesting that this company interpreted Thomas Nast's Boss Tweed image as anti-capitalist. But in those quaint pre-Reagan days, a fat cat image said, "business"—and "excessively rich and powerful business interest" still was negative, to many minds.

One thing can always be counted on from our media: the pack instinct.

As mighty and feared as Murdoch has been for so long, here's hoping the non-Murdoch owned outlets will have an ongoing extravaganza of kicking a man when he's down.
