I cannot imagine telling folk that I limit my sources of information. And he seems proud to display his limitation too.

I fail to see the claimed natural fit of KW to News Ltd. From running a 100% monopoly cable TV network that even without any competition has utterley misled, overcharged and underdelivered to its customers. By this I mean, as an original subscriber, a key attraction and benefit of pay T.V. was supposed to be interuption (advertising) free viewing. This has certainly not been the case for many years. Furthermore now, even though they generate signifiant advertising revenue, the cost of the service has continued to rise and rise, whilst the content has become largely stale and more frequently repeated than ever. As for customer service, from my experience the only way to get service is not to pay your bill, and this is the only time you can expect a call back from their call centre. Given any real alternative, i believe a very significnat percentage of their customer base would jump ship in a heartbeat. So from shooting fish in a barrel and still missing, how does this synergise with running News Limited?

If KW is soooo digital, how come you can't order Foxtel online?
