So, like, oh my god.
You may have heard here or there about a guy named Rupert Murdoch. He is head of a media empire his family started in Australia back in the 50s. They have used their position in the media to push forward a hard-right agenda, as is evident in what is perhaps the Murdochs' most widely knownmedia outlet, Fox News.
Folks have been screaming about how Rupert Murdoch is not a journalist, but a propagandist, and is using his position to skew the truth. Many claim his tactics are not just shady, they are flat out evil. The Murdoch family has been known for going to great length to get what they want, not short of murder.
Sean Hoare was one of Murdoch's henchmen. He was a journalist for Murdoch's British tabloid newspaper "News of the World" where he often was paid by Murdoch to actually go out and get drunk and do blow with rock stars in order to pick up dirt on them and write about it. This job almost killed him, forcing Hoare to scale it back a bit. By "scaling it back a bit", part of his new job was to hack into the voicemail messages of victims of murder, rape, and even September 11th, 2001.
Recently, he blew the whistle on his scumbag of a boss, causing both Rupert Murdoch's life, and that of Murdoch's son to crumble along with their huge media empire.
This morning, Sean Hoare was found dead. Today is also the day Rupert Murdoch has testified on these accusations on voicemail hacking directly to Parliament. The London Metropolitan Police have ruled Hoare's death "unsuspicious".
Ant Gert wishes to disagree. Sean Hoare's death is beyond suspicious.
Ant Gert thinks this is obviously murder. Can't wait to see how THIS gets buried.
Paying attention to every crackpot conspiracy theory that comes down the pike may not be possible, but we can sure as hell try. You don't have to believe everything you read, but you don't have to be a dick about it either. Blog in peace.
