While researching my previous post on Murdoch I stumbled upon this scathing assessment of Murdoch by that champion of independent media, Bill Moyers. You have to listen to every single word Moyers says because the way he connected the dots last year still resonate today.

Do not underestimate the corruptive power of Rupert Murdoch: He has made it a sport to steal elections for the Republican Party. The current upheaval over Obama's aunt is not a coincidence :

In other words, it looks like someone in the Bush administration leaked the information, with the goal of throwing a last-minute wrench into Obama's campaign. And someone else confirmed it, with similar motives.

On the record, of course, the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, a unit of the Department of Homeland Security, is telling reporters it can't comment on any individual person's immigration status. It would appear to be a violation of department procedures, at the least, to leak such information.

We've seen this same tactic used recently by the Bush administration. Earlier this month, law enforcement sources leaked the news, also to the AP, that the FBI has begun a nationwide investigation into ACORN. Again, the obvious purpose of the leak was political -- to bolster a Republican campaign to stoke fears about voter fraud, in an effort to de-legitimize an Obama win. The Justice Department still has not confirmed the existence of the investigation.

It is official. Murdoch and the neo-cons are out to steal another US American election.
