Rubbish. The content and the headlines of a news publication are the responsibilty of the editor.
While I understand and even share your distaste of Mr Murdoch, to attribute the blame for this despicable headline to him is just pushing a certain poster's political bandwagon.
See post 9.
Because he's seen to be a supporter of the Abbott government.
Would you please stop with the stupid accusations. This thread has nothing to do with Abbott, is not related to Abbott in any way and it is lousy form to bring Abbott into it and continue to argue about why it was posted.
AS THE OP, I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THIS THREAD IS NOT IN ANYWAY ABOUT ABBOTT! Please keep your personal politics out of it and stop telling others what my motives were because your assumptions are very wrong.
It is not rubbish. Murdoch is well known to take particular interest in the approach taken by his papers, including the inflammatory/derogatory headlines and front pages. He sends staff to election zones to pursue his political agenda. He thinks it is his right to interfere and influence policy wherever he sees a benefit to himself.
His staff argued to the Senate that their loss making ventures are for reasons of idealogical/political influence not tax avoidance.
