    One word is missing from this article - and from real life.

    What should happen here is that Murdoch shouldn't be allowed to buy another newspaper. His purchase will have to go through the anti-trust devision of the Justice Department. Right now, there is no hope of it being stopped. But if every Democratic candidate was to annouce that if they are elected, Murdoch's monopolizing purchase will be stopped cold, it would cool his jets a bit.
