Here is another one. Australia viewed by the US (at least an American Journalist) a few months old but still good insight.

"Australia once looked much like Scandinavia in terms of wage equality, social welfare and minimum living standards. It still has an excellent health system, but otherwise increasingly it looks like America."

Won't be long before that sort of opinion is erased Spike,if Rupe really does get his GRUBBY MITTS on the WSJ.

The WSJ is already an ultra-right wing rag -allbeit with a good reputation in the financial community because financial news are well covered.
Murdock cannot make it worse.

The article cited is from the International Herald tribune a paper owned by he New York Times and at the opposite end of the political spectrum.
