Real quick, before I leave work: I had this epiphany of sorts (I'll call it a minor one because I can't be the only one) regarding Rupert Murdoch and this absurd pie-throwing incident. Here's my thought: it was a classic Murdoch distraction, to get news outlets to talk about the pie and not the substance of the hearing. That would seem to be an absurd thought too - I mean, come on, a comedian throws a pie and that'll be the major story here? - but then I went to Yahoo, and there it was: the main story, the one with the picture attached (not one of the strings of stories that lurks above or below), and to make it worse, it painted his wife as some kind of heroine, if you can believe it.
Just want to get your reactions. Seems like Murdochiavellian madness to me. Pie thrown; news is about pie, not Rupert's lawbreaking. Perfect. Fox news will surely feature it.
Thankee.
