FYI:
Stop the War Coalition has condemned Rupert Murdoch's media empire, which has been beating the drums of the UK wars over the last thirty years.
SWC revealed that Rupert Murdoch's papers and TV channels have been backing all the wars imposed by the Britain in the last thirty years, saying he had supported Margaret Thatcher's government and the Falklands war in 1982, and Tony Blair's government and his bloody wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
SWC added that Murdoch has continued backing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, leading to the death of hundreds of thousands of the civilians, even in the time Conservative David Cameron was leading the coalition government.
And now his whole empire is encouraging David Cameron to keep the war in Libya, claiming to help the Libyan nationals to have a safer life while the British warplanes are throwing hundreds of bombs on the Libyan cities, SWC added.
The media mogul also tried to save the face of the US warmongers. He particularly backed George Bush Senior's first Gulf War in 1990-91, Bill Clinton's war in Yugoslavia in 1999, George W Bush's wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and finally he gave his great support to President Barack Obama's seven wars.
Regarding to the Falklands war, Sun newspaper owned by Murdoch obviously rejoiced the sinking of the Argentinean navy cruiser which led to the death of 320-crew members, using “Gotcha” as their front page headline. The senior sources insisted that the sinking of the navy cruiser was a war crime, since the ship was not in Falklands' waters and was moving away from the war zone areas.
Speaking at a press conference, Murdoch admitted that his media empire has done its best to shape public opinion over the perception of war and supporting Tony Blair's policies on Iraq war, but added, “Public opinion has grown very tired of the whole enterprise.”
SWC slammed his remarks, saying, “What a quaint term, 'enterprise,' to describe an illegal and immoral war that slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, made four million more of them refugees and devastated the whole country.”
