Mudoch just happens to own Wireless Generation, an education software company. Currently Bill Gates seems to own the Presidents Education Reform Ideas,,, Clearly Murdoch wants a piece of the action,, That piece could be in the tens of billions a year..
It should haave been an easy target... a sweethart deal between the Obama administation and Bill Gates... Maybe not quite illegal but close enough it should have drawn attention from FOX, It didn't..
ReplyDeletePossibly because Mudoch wanted a slice of the pie himself..
Gates, Pearson, Broad, Zuckerberg of Facebook fame, and a whole bunch of software companies in line, why not Murdoch? Another one who controls what news gets to the public. We'll see what he allows FOX to cover. At a minimum, Grumpy readers who watch will have background knowledge and will not be so easily fooled.
ReplyDeleteI think at the moment Gates is high bidder, but it will be interesting to see who ends up owning American Education
