      Ron Paul Supporters Claim Hand in News Corp 'Rout'
      What the Ron Paul is doing is demonstrating, in spades, how the traditional "Mainstream Media," (Fox, etc.) is slowly disintegratring -- and the new media (which is decentralized, not controlled by gov't and big corporations, interactive) is growing. Newspapers have seen their circulation decline. The big networks are losing their influence. Ron Paul, because he advocates decentralization, local control, and open-ness in gov't. is riding the crest of this wave. The decline in the stock price of Fox reflects this broad trend, but it's exacerbated by the stupid policies of Murdoch -- and his use of Fox as a propagandistic vehicle for neocon views.

      Also worth considering: Many of the independent financial newsletters -- particularly the gold-oriented or hard-money newsletters -- are supporters of Ron Paul. They're not going to be recommending Fox's stock in their newsletters -- and if anything they'll be trashing it.

      Why would anyone buy stock in a “News” organization that seems so intent to lose whatever credibility that it might have had? If I had stock in Fox, I’d sell it to. If I were a speculator, I’d short the stock. If I were an advertiser, I’d put my dollars elsewhere. As far as I'm concerned Fox News is now the enemy.

      For a great satire on the president, the mainstream media, and the war on terror, see this YouTube music video from the international award-winning zombie musical feature film, “Song of the Dead.” It’ stars horror movie veteran Reggie Bannister (Phantasm, Wishmaster, Bubba Ho-tep) as the president of the U.S. The filmmaker, Chip Gubera, is giving a share of his profits from DVD sales to the Ron Paul campaign.
