Bloggers Say Murdoch's News Corp Alters MySpace User Posts

I know it probably doesn't come as much of a surprise to anyone, but Rupert Murdoch's News Corp is being accused of suppressing links to rival sites on the company's MySpace. The firm bought MySpace last July, according to the Independent Online, where you can get the full story.

News Corp also owns Fox and the New York Post. They can't help but try to control the message at all times, it seems.

Kind of a side issue, but does it drive anyone else nuts that some of the well-spoken criticism cited in the article is so badly spelled?! I know we all make these mistakes, but don't some circumstances suggest a little re-reading?

And How's Your Internal Consistency?

The Philosophers' Magazine has a quiz called Battleground God that tests some of the internal consistency of a person's religious beliefs -- take it! It's fun! It's really more of a logic game than anything else, but it looks for one of my most favorite fallacies -- I can't tell you which without it affecting the outcome of the test. Sorry.

Oh, and how did I do? Glad you asked.


Medal of Honor, bitches!
