AUST gets wake-call with Sydney terror. Only Daily Telegraph caught the bloody outcome at 2.00 am. Congrats. — Rupert Murdoch (@rupertmurdoch) December 15, 2014

I’m sorry, were you expecting respect for the victims of this siege from the man who controls the majority of Australian newspaper circulation?

Never mind the fact that two innocent people lost their lives and another 15 will need counselling for as long as they live due to PTSD, Severe anxiety and whole crapload of other mental issues that crop up due to being held hostage, forced to read demands, the resulting shootout and so on.

No praise to the police for handling the situation as well as they did and attempting to de-escalate the situation with storming the cafe being an absolute last resort. And no concern about the officer who was injured after being shot in the face.

All that Rupert gives us is praise for his cameras catching the bloody aftermath first.

All of the stuff that happened about the sydney siege and they choose to not express any concern about the victims and their families and friends like any reasonable person would do. Instead they just congratulate their media team at the site for being the first people to record the brutal slaughter of an innocent person and a gunman.

This just really pisses me off to no end because you would think that the person at the head of a global media empire would know how such statements tend to go down with the community. Not only that but this lack of consideration of the victims of this tragic event is basically how a psychopath would behave. The enduring antisocial behavior, the lack of empathy and remorse and the disinhibited or bold behavior are all there.

This kind of thing is exactly why Rupert has been legally deemed unfit to run a company. And recent events have shown that his hold on his media empire is slipping as shareholders become increasingly frustrated with his bias. This could very well be the very thing that causes him to lose control of the whole lot and I really hope that does happen.

How this thing that calls itself Rupert is alive when it clearly does not have a heart is a mystery to me.
