Or with Murdoch it's BIG, not little. For example, after all Murdoch newspapers in Australia (which is most newspapers) went for one political party. That party won the election, and afterwards Murdoch got almost a billion $ tax cut from the government that was elected. Similar tactics are used all over the world, and he switches sides too.

History is a narrative.

Teaching is a narrative.

Media is a narrative.

Examining the root causes rather than the narrative fabric is rational. Most governmental actors are either intentionally or ignorantly not rational in this respect.
