共產制度之敗亡,非由「自由民主國家」外部擊敗,而固亡於治理崩壞內部崩潰,意識形態破產導致政權合法性自然塌陷,統治官僚集團為僵化制度所縛,無能自我更新自我革命。
跺腳痛罵「西方資本主義」搞滲透破壞,切齒諉過對手搞「和平演變」,被人民踢入歷史垃圾堆的共黨黨棍神棍,對共產暴政一切政治及法律責任,堅予推卸,畫皮被揭之下,仍以道消魔長自慰,以救世之主自居,奉天承運口含(馬氏老祖)天憲,厚顏招搖於市。
美國報業苟延殘喘於internet及Google雷霆萬鈞攻勢之下,其不濟與不肖,庶幾近之。
百年老報《洛磯山新聞報》倒閉,《洛杉磯時報》母公司申請破產保護,《紐約時報》買樓兼賣身(向墨西哥暴發戶融資)……金融海嘯席捲,百業蕭條,報業首當其衝,噩耗連綿不斷。死亡陰影籠罩之下,慌不擇路驚惶失措,報閥竭斯底裏大發惡,把帳算在Google頭上。
向Google宣戰,口誅筆伐,同時為網絡新聞收費大反攻搖旗呐喊,梅鐸及其臣僕一馬當先。
先是本月頭梅鐸親身上陣,上電視炮轟Google「新聞竊賊」,表達對網上新聞之免費痛心疾首。
"The question is, should we be allowing Google to steal all our copyright ... not steal, but take," Murdoch says. "Not just them, but Yahoo."
"People reading news for free on the web, that's got to change," he said.
繼而,梅鐸忠僕,《華爾街日報》老總Robert Thomson上老闆老家祖報The Australian專訪開罵,痛斥Google導引公眾以「錯誤」觀念:資訊應當免費。Robert Thomson為梅鐸效犬馬勞多年,道瓊斯社及《華爾街日報》淪陷梅鐸魔掌後,不辭勞苦從英國《泰晤士報》越洋換崗,為老闆把守新寨。
"It's certainly true that readers have been socialised -- wrongly I believe -- that much content should be free," he said.
"And there is no doubt that's in the interest of aggregators like Google who have profited from that mistaken perception. And they have little incentive to recognise the value they are trading on that's created by others.""Google argues they drive traffic to sites, but the whole Google sensibility is inimical to traditional brand loyalty," he said.
"Google encourages promiscuity -- and shamelessly so -- and therefore a significant proportion of their users don't necessarily associate that content with the creator.(The Australian)
Google將資訊選擇權交還大眾,打破媒介壟斷,推進資訊傳播之平等與自由,不甘傳統媒介霸權地位失落的報業財閥,雖不無受惠於Google搜尋器輸送人流,仍要得了便宜還賣乖,視之為江洋大盜,洪水猛獸。報業急劇衰落,與Google迅猛崛起之強烈落差,以及金融危機下報業之財務緊蹙生存危機,加劇了這種紅眼病。
對Google之恨,一代「報販」梅鐸,或不亞於實行資訊專政之專制強權。向Google宣戰,一直垂涎中國市場的梅鐸,再與「老朋友」中國政府攜手並肩,站在了一起。
