All this has real consequences. Rupert Murdoch, to put it nicely, is no Barney Kilgore.

How amusing to hear jingoistic, provincial Americans complaining about "Britishisms" when the American media oligarchies (e.g. suntanned CNN newscasters) have been ramming perverse American usages and inane L.A. valley girl babble down the world's collective gob (to ram another evil Briddisherism down the American jingoist's gullet) for so many years! May the declining American Empire further come a cropper of its own making. Or, as you Yanks say, 'come a crapper'.
[ gob • noun informal, chiefly Brit. a person’s mouth. ORIGIN perhaps from Scottish Gaelic] Take that, you antiscottish jingoistes! The Murdochs shall inherit the earth, sadly!

Murdoch is a man with a mission - dumb down the news. He's already succeeded with Fox and now he's moved on to business news. How long before the WSJ becomes an incendiary as Fox and starts calling everything socialism, fascism, and Nazism?
