Rupert Murdoch's Birthday Gathering in Adelaide

[Squawk]

Looks like a few locals are planning to get together for Rupert Murdoch's birthday:

Friday, 9th March 2012

To “celebrate” Rupert Murdoch’s birthday, the people of Adelaide will rally in front of the Advertiser Building on Friday March 9th, to protest News Ltd’s continued assault on our democracy with biased disinformation and corporate propaganda.

Rupert Murdoch’s media empire, with its beginnings here in Adelaide, epitomises corporate control and what we aim to change through direct action. Australia is a uniquely captive audience to Murdoch’s influence. His News Corporation holds a near media monopoly, the most concentrated ownership in the world. 70% of the capital city press including The Advertiser, Sunday Mail and Messenger Newspapers, as well as the only national newspaper, the Australian, are all Murdoch owned.

This is NOT what democracy looks like.

John Pilger summed it up well in the New Statesman recently, “Australia is the world’s first murdochracy, in which smear by media is power.”

On March 9th, let your voice be heard, and your presence felt. Together we can show Murdoch what true democracy looks like.

well, the New Boys weren't happy with recent print coverage of Giovanni Focarelli's death, so if they turn out it might be a bit busier, and a bit livelier LOL!
