No reason to despair or bicker...

The blueprint is in Virginia and even Alabama; inspire, organize and mobilize.

How many undocumented laboring immigrants would we need to have in order to do 1/10th the damage of Rupert Murdoch?

Murdoch became an American citizen in 1985 so that he could make a massive investment in American media of 20% or more of a broadcast license.


The Los Angeles Times reported on September 4, 1985"

NEW YORK — Rupert Murdoch, Australian-born publishing magnate, became a U.S. citizen today, removing an obstacle to his acquisition of a network of independent American television stations.

Murdoch, 54, has been living in the United States since 1973. He was joined in the courtroom ceremony by 185 other aliens.

By becoming an American citizen, Murdoch gave up his Australian citizenship since neither government recognizes dual citizenship.

Murdoch recently purchased 50% of 20th Century Fox Film Corp. and plans to purchase Metromedia, the nation's largest group of independent television stations, including KTTV in Los Angeles. Under federal regulations an alien may not own more than 20% of a broadcast license.
