Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

People are complicated. Love is not.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Second rate reporter says what?

DougJ has already noted that the Murdoch empire fumbled the whole hacking scandal, but I thought it was worth noting that the recent fire sale of MySpace cost News Corp a hell of a lot more:

So all things considered, MySpace has cost Murdoch’s empire something like $1.3 billion. Even if my assumptions are way off, the final cost can’t be less than $1 billion.

News Corp bought MySpace for $580 million in 2006, ran it into the ground, and sold it for $35 million last month. Let’s see what the market has to say about that (click to embiggen):

For the past few years, News Corp has underperformed Disney, Viacom and the S&P 500. Don’t get me wrong — Rupert’s company is still profitable. It just isn’t making money for its investors.

    my only argument to this is that MySpace is an unusable joke and I think many people you meet would argue that $35mil was probably more than the site is worth.

    But I’m happy to think Murdoch lost money anyway.

    sure it would be nice to see the evil empire topple but I’d settle for even small victories like people in the country of my birth, Australia, not desiring to name Murdoch the Most Influential Australian. You know, since he renounced his Australian citizenship in 1985. Queen Elizabeth revoking his Order of Australia appointment would be nice also, given the above reason as well as the damage he’s recently done to the Commonwealth.

    The problem was that News Corp bought MySpace and thought they could run it like a news website — all content with IT in a support role. On the other hand, Google and Facebook plow tons of money into R&D, particularly with regards social networking. The traditional media companies just will not be able to compete with this unless they get their act together.

    Heck, even Walmart has realized they need an R&D division for social networking — the appropriately named Walmart Labs. They were a sponsor at ACM SIGMOD this year.

    Most Influential is a value neutral designation. Murdoch’s influences may be entirely evil and base, but I can’t think of any people of Australian birth or heritage who are currently more influential. I can think of a few Aussie writers and scientists who might be more influential in the long term, but none who are more influential right now.

    @JGabriel: In essence I agree with you, but someone like myself, born there and having lived there for 3 years more recently or Rupert Murdoch (born in Melbourne but raised in England) probably would not be considered “Australian” for the purposes of say, a national election, even if Murdoch hadn’t renounced his citizenship.

    By contrast, the current PM Julia Gillard was born in Wales but raised in Australia and has lived there most of her life. My observation of Australians, in general, is that they are far too eager to call successful people with even tenuous connections to their country fellow Australians no matter what skeletons might be in their closet — or, like in Murdoch’s case, if they chose to renounce their citizenship altogether.

    He publicly decided to no longer be Australian. My question is why would any self-respecting Australian still want to claim him?

    (You don’t have to tell me, I already know the answer is 27%)

    I find it surprising that any of Murdoch’s assets make money. Right Wing drivel tends to be more of a vanity measure than a money making venture. Take, for instance, Richard Mellon Scaife and the Pittsburgh Tribune Review. Big money loser, but Scaife doesn’t care, he’ll spend 20million a year to push his ideology. Why wouldn’t he? He was born into money, he doesn’t have to work, he never has.

    I gather that Murdoch’s true money makers are the tabloids, not his “serious” papers. And that makes sense; space aliens impregnating Kristie Alley makes a lot more sense than most right wing policies. It is easier to believe that Margaret Thatcher had a love child with Ronald Reagan than that you could balance the budget by giving Paris Hilton ANOTHER tax cut.

    It’s getting amazingly ugly for Murdoch over in the UK with new rumors swirling via Michael Wolff that NewsCorp may be considering selling off News International and essentially gutting their UK print division entirely. It’s pretty clear there was criminal activity at NoW. What’s less clear is whose head is going to role for it. The guy Rupert put in charge of Dow Jones and the WSJ, Les Hinton, is now implicated up to his eyeballs (through emails released over the weekend), including lying to Parliament.If Hinton’s integrity is called into question, it could directly affect Murdoch’s US operation.

    Taxes are “holding up” the deficit deal, they’re marketing a WSJ op-ed that trumpets the Democrat’s plans to raise taxes by a trillion dollars, but there is nothing on the main page about the ongoing, giant, international criminal conspiracy that is Murdoch, Inc.

    It appears that lawyers from a group of News Corporation institutional shareholders have filed a complaint at the chancery court in Delaware – the famously business-friendly state where News Corp and thousands of other companies are incorporated – saying the company’s board should have taken action against phone hacking years before.

    News Corp shareholders seek to block addition of Elisabeth Murdoch to board, end Rupert Murdoch use of company assets for personal/family agendas – law firm.

    Not sure.

    The well-thinking Real American community’s had no trouble at all taking a shit on the people affected by 9/11… from the “moral majority” of the red states gloating on the night of the attack that God had punished them for harboring faggots and feminists, to Bill O’Reilly insulting those families who were tired of being used as a talking point for the invasion of Iraq, to the people who didn’t want to shell out the money to help 9/11 first responders with their health problems.

    If 9/11 had happened in Mayberry and the victims had looked like the Andy Griffith cast, might be a different story, but as it is, NewsCorp can probably survive if they get Fox to go on the offensive against the faggy New Yorkers who just don’t understand that Murdoch’s people were trying to do a service for the public.

    The media giant bought the team from the O’Malley family in 1998 for a then-record sum of $311 million. After pouring in an additional $200 million trying to field a successful team and to renovate Dodger Stadium, the company asserts it never made a profit, losing about $40 million a year. As a result, News Corp. needed a sale of $500 million or more to break even on its investment.

    Sources said the actual dollar value for the club and its property holdings would be between $325 million and $340 million once discounts and credits are factored into the accounting.

    There has been plenty of turmoil — and no playoff appearances — at Chavez Ravine in the five years since News Corp. purchased the Dodgers, ending a stable and successful 50-year reign by the O’Malley family, which brought the team from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958.

    Well, to be fair, while I quite agree with you about “the sociopathic nature of big corporations”, the illegal and unethical behavior was probably unlikely to get written up in the company’s annual report: maybe because it was, ummm, illegal??

    OTOH, however, the Murdock Empire’s hacking scandal wasn’t – and isn’t – new news: allegations of this sort of crap (and not just the Murdock Press) have been floating around for several years – if not decades. Presumably, Old Rupert, his family and minions decided to just tough it out and rely on their built-in fear-factor to keep the inquiries at bay: as it is, they seem now to be stuck in a lose-lose situation: under an uncomfortable spotlight, their political cover evaporating, and a major business deal (the BSkyB takeover) derailed: probably permanently.

    Sooner or later, this IS going to impact the bottom line: and shareholders ARE going to have problems with that…

    Yes, it’s certainly going to be difficult to claim both that the managers were both incapable of monitoring widespread illegal behavior in their company and that they were doing a good job of looking after their shareholders’ money. If the BSkyB deal falls through because of the scandal, it’s going to be difficult to defend against a shareholder lawsuit no matter what legal theory News Corporation’s lawyers put forward.

It was a Potemkin of a web site, a piece of crap that was built by douchebags and fools to look beautiful to potential acquirers. Murdoch shouldn’t be faulted for running it into the ground; he should be faulted for buying it at all.
