Murdoch's Media

Rupert Murdoch is taking over Dow Jones which will probably mean that another quality publication will go down hill. He has a huge media empire which is hard to compete with but he has said it himself that he wants more entertainment in his media and less hard news. This is a bad thing for the quality of the media and means a "dumbing down" of media standards. It is well known that he owns about 30% of the media and he has been through several editors of the Times since he has owned it. Is it possible to escape the Murdoch curse.
