You see, the reason we've decided to go on the defensive against Rupert Murdoch's "Internet-pay initiative" is that basically it goes against the Common Good. For example, Mr. Murdoch has signalled that you will have to pay his admittedly Right Wing-ideologue news and webcasts and other media for reading, viewing and use of the same. That seems unfair, when reading today's news we found the following information: Lead-based Consumer Paint Remains A Global Public Health Threat and Marine Pest Species Costing Billions In Damage To Fisheries, Coastal Communities And Infrastructure Are Spreading. Do you really think that you have to pay Mr. Murdoch (whose compensation is already around $ 30,000,000/year) and Fox News Corporation to read such vital and important information?
We think this is the beginning-of-the-end for huge, monopolistic media and corporations that have decided to charge us and you, the public, private monies for vital public information in regards to your health, your money, your well-being and your existence. This goes against any of the concepts that we feel are familiar to those in a democracy. Democratic thought-processes have trained us to think that we have a Right-to-Know (RTK). Of course, we are expanding on the original concept that the public has a right to know of any potential chemical hazards that are in our backyards, our homes and our neighborhoods. You already have a government right to know that much.
Mr. Murdoch and Fox have been given the right to make huge monopolies and media corporations. Now he has decided we should have to pay for the privilege to have access to that monopoly's news and media and output. Some of this is justifiable. Artistic and copyrighted works are protected under law. But, the reading and viewing of RTK material is our right and a right that we should not have to pay for. Yes, we know, this is "loophole, loopy" politics. It is also a wedge to win back your right to information that is rightfully yours. Mr. Murdoch, if successful, will have you paying money, cash and so on for that right - or at least part of it.
If this course of action cannot be undone, we at least think that Fox Corporation should be legally required to provide free, public information vital under the RTK concept. He/they have already been paid for this by being given the right to form excessively large and controlling monopolies. We suggest that if this course of action is taken, some violation of the public trust will have occurred and will continue to occur under these circumstances. The other "news" - Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Bill O'Reilly and the rest - you can pay for - because its not necessary and not covered under any concept of RTK. Of course, this should create a large-type bureaucratic mess that will require Fox News or some agency appointed to oversee them and regulate which news and information can and cannot be free. That will, of course, create a giant headache for Fox and Mr. Murdoch. That's OK, as we've said, they've already been given the privilege of creating this huge monopoly which may prove to be their own Frankenstein's monster. On the plus side, a new huge bureaucracy which decides which news and information has to be paid and which has to be free will create innumerable jobs. Which will ultimately be good for the economy. Hurrah!
