Very good question friends, Murdoch was in fact, one of my biggest inspirations, when I started to use Google technology...22 years ago, thanks the Twin Towers tragedy, it was an impossible mission, stay quiet and silent friends. Murdoch 's way of scandalistic kind of press is showing us, nobody must be afraid to wash dirty laundry on a public space when it's creating curiosity, fun, atraction and gossip, let it happen, anyone is eager for human stories, for dirty secrets and life experiences, it's just human nature, being hypocrits is much worse, trying to lie and hide dirty secrets ...sooner or later becomes like a cancer threat, it turns back to murder us all
