Have you noticed how the Murdoch media outlets - the Post and the Wall Street Journal - aren't covering the media blackout that is Cathie Black?
The NYCDOE is keeping her school visitation schedule a secret and they STILL won't let her talk to the press (except for that time they allowed her to talk to Cindy Adams - a gossip columnist at the Murdoch Post.)
Can you imagine if Obama or somebody Murdoch doesn't like tried to pull this stuff at the USDOE?
It's illuminating how Murdoch is a big "accountability" guy for others (especially teachers), but when it comes to his own employees - like FOX 5 reporters accused of horrific crimes - or people he backs - like Chancellor Cathie with an "i" Black - he's not so big on accountability at all.
It seems accountability is ONLY for the little people (i.e., the people who do not drink cucumber martinis with Mayor Bloomberg at Upper East Side soirees or work for Rupert Murdoch.)
Murdoch loves Obama as far as Ed Deform is concerned. Murdoch loves the predator state - when public money is doled out for private profit.
