Quality guidance from a quality human being who will someday be found curled up in a gutter with Phil Gramm protruding from his anus.

Wait. Murdoch is preaching quality journalism? I'm on a train as we speak and a 300-pound guy two rows down is sharing his digestive dilemmas.

Murdoch flipped a nickel-and-dime newspaper his dad left him into a global media empire. Our generation's endowed youth flip wealth into celebrity and fame before getting busted for DUI or whatever-else and slowly spiraling further into decadence. There hasn't been a young scion doing something with our media since, what, JFK Jr.? Instead its all about blogging how we feel and blah blah blah. If Rupert's got faith in the news industry, that's good enough for me. Maybe a couple of months on unemployment rolls would change my perspective, but for now, sunshine, lollipops and rainbows!

@oneinsixbillion: Right. Fortunate son Murdoch flipped a fish wrapper and fortunate son Trump flipped a verminaceous Queens housing project. They achieved similar acclaim.
