Fall

The fall of the Murdoch empire is like watching the last days of Ceauşescu.

Excellent articles by Timothy Garton Ash in the Guardian and Camilla Cavendish in The Times.

Interesting discussion on Newsnight last night (except for the studio audience - they invited a selection of people who were apathetic about politics, and then Jeremy Paxoman feigned surprise that they were so apathetic they didn't have anything to say).
