Murdochracy

The murder of democracy through misinformation - via Rupert Murdoch's "news" outlets.
By framing the narrative through his tabloid and TV outlets in Australia, the US and UK, Rupert Murdoch manipulates the collective consensus, changing ostensibly democratically elected governments at will, to meet his commercial and political needs. Murdochracy is a hijacking of democracy by controlling, restricting and distorting the information on which people make decisions to vote.

Countries which were once democracies that are now governed by politicians who are either puppets of Rupert Mordoch or enact policies that conform to his view of the world.
Australia, Britain and the U.S are each an example of being a Murdochracy.

Murdochalypse

The downfall of Rupert Murdoch (and his enterprises) in the United Kingdom, primarily, after it was revealed that they paid people to hack into the voicemails of people, including:
- 9/11 victims
- 7/7 victims

- Milly Dowler, a girl who was abducted and killed. Hacks deleted her voicemail messages, when her box was full, to make way for new messages, so they could get more info.
The News of the World paper printed its final edition in July 2011. This was only the start of the Murdochalypse.
It will probably be relaunched, under a new name, like The Sun On Sunday.
