MAY 15, 2003 – MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – Taking on those Democrats and
others who are “unpatriotic”, Australian-owned Fox News, USA Today, NY Post,
Chicago Sun Times, and numerous other Aussie-controlled news operations promise
to clear things up by presenting the “true, American view of things.”
Rupert Murdoch, owner of all the above listed news sources – and many, many more
– helped explain his “Americanizing” mission from his original home town of
Melbourne, Australia.
“As someone who was born in Australia,” said Rupert Murdoch, speaking beside a
“barbie” on which he was throwing another shrimp, “and who is married to a woman
who is from China, I feel that I and my Australian-owned news sources are the
most qualified to present the true American perspective on things. Those other,
American-owned news sources, like the New York Times and NPR, simply don’t know
anything about being a good American. They betray American values on a daily
basis, as far as I can tell from down here on the other side of the world, where
I was born and all my family live.”
The American flag a permanent fixture on the screen of his Fox News Network,
Murdoch sits stroking his pet koala, eating some Vegamite, pointing out a
kangaroo in the distance. “Of course my news sources are the real American
ones. How could some paper owned by New Yorkers be more patriotic than the ones
owned by me? Or a radio network funded by donations from American listeners?
No, no, no. I know the true voice of America, like no American possibly could
if I didn’t spell it out for them on a daily basis.”
Throughout the interview, his love and respect for his wife Wendy Deng Murdoch
was very much apparent. “Any time I have some doubts about whether I – since I
am not from America – am striking the right American note, I ask Wendy, who is
also from the other side of the world. Between my Down-Under upbringing and her
Red China view of things, we come up with the real American perspective like no
actual American possibly could.”
Each day, millions and millions of Americans read his newspapers and watch his
TV news broadcasts, learning what real Americans are supposed to think and
believe in, as well as how important it is to chastise as “unpatriotic” any
American who has views that don’t line up with the Murdochs’ Aussie-Chinese Axis
of Americanism.
“Hey,” says Murdoch, “the paper is called ‘USA Today’, isn’t it? What could be
more American than this Australian-owned periodical?”
Asked what his plans for the future are, Murdoch said, “I would love to fully
and completely own the entire American media. Just this past week the U.S.
Congress was holding hearings about allowing even greater ownership of the media
by a single entity. It is just a matter of time before I am allowed to weed out
all of those un-American American-owned news sources and ensure that America is
provided with nothing but the real American view of things, as determined by
this Aussie and his lovely, wonderful wife from China.”
