Who says the media is liberal?

If it were, we certainly would have heard about how News Corp and NDS, both Rupert Murdoch companies affiliated with FOX News, have been using industrial espionage to undermine competitors and control the broadcast market (in french). The article talks about how French network, Canal+, has documents from their two year investigation of NDS as they tried to break their broadcast codes from their office in Haiffa. The presence of these documents has complicated the sale od a network from Universal Vivendi to the Murdoch group. NDS has also broken into codes of American, British, and Japanese cable operators. Murdoch has demanded the destruction of the Canal+ documents (the latter was a former network of Vivendi.)
