  Mr. Murdoch: Why no coverage of one of the biggest untold stories in 2008: Condoleezza Rice has an oil super tanker transporting oil to and from the mid east: named on the side of the supertanker CONDOLEEZZA RICE; ok they erased her name when she went in politics and parade her as a provost.
  
  Google it to see a picture of the CONDOLEEZZA RICE super tanker!
  
  That fact should get the readers suspicion up that something is terribly wrong.

  License reporters like Doctors, Lawyers, & CPAs
  
  Any reporter on cable, satellite, or TV, or radio should be licensed and certified as a master in the field he/she reports on or they should not be allowed to call it news. We need talk radio to be free market, government butt out; however talk shows should be required to disclose the calls are not a random sample if the calls are screened as to the callers question.
  
  The reporters today, which of course I do not have a TV, are almost invariably not remotely knowledgeable about the issues they cover and therefore do not even know how to ask the significant questions.
  
  With one example I think I can prove beyond a reasonable doubt how broken the news reporters are and news reporting is. Out of 300 million Americans I doubt more than a few thousand are aware that Condoleezza Rice has an oil supertanker named after her; And that her name was changed off the supertanker before she went in politics and Condi is presented as a Provost instead of a major player in oil. I believe that constitutes outright fraud on the part of reporters in reporting to the American people. The reporters can not be relied upon to report and the American people accept Anna Nicole and Brittany as news instead of as people magazine.
  
  The Presidential debates should be between the candidates; the people magazine reporters parading as newsmen, in my view, dumb down the whole thing. A system for questions to be asked should revolve around people posting question on line and people voting which questions should be asked.
  
  I think reading on line news that does not contain Newsweeks standard for a talk back blog means you are reading someone???s biased agenda that is afraid of the truth being known.

  The print version of this story prominently calls out a quote above, but replaces "subordinates" with "lackeys." Interesting choice of words, especially for the large bold font. It seems the "respectable press" continues with its daily delusion that they are objective, and well, respectable. I'm no Murdoch fan, but I do love irony. Since I'm sure you won't even consider the possibility that your own poo doesn't stink, maybe you could at least get your lackeys on the copy desk to be more careful.
