- canewediggit, on 01/03/2008, -26/+103and this has NOTHING to do with the fact that oil just $100 and all the major indices are down sharply. it's all because of you guys! you did it! even with significantly low volume of trading! wall st crumbles beneath your mighty wrath!
you folks really don't have any clue, do you? - sacha8, on 01/03/2008, -30/+105Down with the fascist"Ministry of Truth". Nobody wants to hear from Fox News or Rupert Murdoch anymore!
- bratpack8, on 01/03/2008, -4/+54Yeah, I'm a RP supporter, but doubt this has any effect. The DOW is down 1.5% as of 3 pm EST today. I believe the best idea is to boycott the advertisers and let them know about it.
- inactive, on 01/03/2008, -32/+75This is political activism at it's finest and it's just the beginning!
- g4blows, on 01/03/2008, -6/+39It's hard to believe that all of you think that selling a small perctange of their stop having a signifcant effect. This 1.36% is not a significant decline and it is certainly not surprising. The entire market is down, and surely you are not taking credit for that or even celebrating that fact. The stock that is being sold is just being bought by someone else and it will probably just go back up in the future. sorry to be suck a downer.
- Webrunner53, on 01/03/2008, -21/+51Does News Corp remind anyone of the days of WWII and the Nazi propaganda machine that duped the German people into believing that they were winning the war when their major cities were being bombed daily by the Allied Forces?
"I am mad as hell, and I am not going to take it anymore either!" - scoottie, on 01/03/2008, -3/+28It's still trading in it's normal range ... why is this digg post news or of an importance?
- Rehnborg, on 01/03/2008, -4/+241st - The market also dropped.
2nd - It will go back up. Markets correct themselves.
No news here. - canewediggit, on 01/03/2008, -10/+30wait, so there are rp supporters on digg with a grip on reality? i'll be damned, consider yourself dugg.
- mattsw84, on 01/03/2008, -4/+231.36% gets you people excited? Is that kinda like Ron Paul polls in the margin of error but he's totally owning?
- lvp1138, on 01/03/2008, -33/+52Nice! A drop of $1.50 - $2 so far, times 3 billion Newscorp shares in circulation, is a value loss of about $4.5 - $6 billion dollars. Don't mess with Ron Paul! Spread this around!!! Do more blogging about it!
- sidsquidrick, on 01/03/2008, -3/+21Yeah, I love the Ron Paul movement, but guys, CBS is down over 3%....lets not jump to any conclusions...do your thing...sell your stock, boycott...but don't claim the prize yet, especially when it is certainly not inconsistant with the industry indexs for the day. Best of luck to you all.
- Brad324, on 01/03/2008, -18/+35I prayed to Ron Paul for this to happen
- Godel, on 01/03/2008, -4/+21Zoom out a little and you can see just how jumpy News Corp.'s stock is. This loss is certainly not large enough to think that Ron Paul supporters have anything to do with it.
- WiseWeasel, on 01/03/2008, -0/+16I prayed to Moloch; he gets things done, red tape be damned...
- Godel, on 01/03/2008, -4/+20Zoom out a little and you can see just how jumpy News Corp.'s stock is. This loss is certainly not large enough to think that Ron Paul supporters have anything to do with it.
- Shawn4168, on 01/03/2008, -2/+17Holy crap! You mean stocks don't just go up, they can go down, too? What a concept!
- crossmr, on 01/03/2008, -3/+18"a yearly low"... no matter what it ends at, today its a yearly low..
its like those batters who get a hit on their first at bat of the season they flash the average 1.000 and everyone has a good laugh. - sullyz0r, on 01/03/2008, -3/+18"Wall st crumbles beneath your mighty wrath"
Hilarious. +1. - fusuke31, on 01/03/2008, -2/+15I agree with your sentiments on Fox News and Rupert Murdoch. Unfortunately, I have to burst your bubble regarding the stock price. Today was Down Day at the Dow. Most stocks were hit just the same. Why the large drop? Well, the market has become very volatile lately, with large swings either way. The main cause being the escalating credit crisis and subsequent injections of liquidity by the Fed.
- FireForEffect47, on 01/03/2008, -7/+20Hate to break it to you, but all media companies have been down today, and the market indicies are also down 2%.
You Ron Paul morons didn't have anything to do with this. - greenlight2001, on 01/03/2008, -0/+13Man, I like RP but that was lame. Really really lame...
- CharityAngel, on 01/03/2008, -26/+37WOW, what a statement all you stock holders have made! I don't own any, but I sure understand why you are selling. When it becomes evident that news is not news but it is only propaganda, then supporting it is like supporting your nation in being completely blinded to what people REALLY think and what is REALLY happening. I am starting to realize that there are more people that WANT their liberties restored then there are people that are truly passive. The sleeping giant is waking up LOL... it is amazing to watch.
"I am mad, and I am not going to take it anymore!" - Archon810, on 01/03/2008, -5/+14Buried for coming to conclusions as random as a pack of wild wolves running into my apartment and stealing my keyboard (the submission, not the post I'm replying to).
- chaosium, on 01/03/2008, -4/+13I hope they're all on Margin.
- Brad324, on 01/03/2008, -0/+8you are.
- shuck, on 01/03/2008, -4/+12This has ZERO to do with politics...sorry.
- Makisupa, on 01/03/2008, -2/+10OMG! IBM is down 3.16%, what are you doing Paul supporters? /sarcasm Don't they teach the difference between causation and correlation anymore?
- Vtorch, on 01/03/2008, -1/+8Buried for absolutely STUPID
- deadbaby, on 01/03/2008, -4/+11Don't blame the Liberals. This is one of those loony RON PAUL stories.
- santaliqueur, on 01/03/2008, -3/+10Go take another hit from your Ron Paul bong.
- inactive, on 01/03/2008, -3/+9Nobody? Then how comesthe ratings of Fox News are still higher than all the other cable news networks COMBINED? How come Bill O'Reilly's 4:00 AM rerun still gets more viewers than Keith Olbermann's first run prime time airing?
- MiltonWaddams, on 01/03/2008, -3/+9In unrelated news, Ron Paul is polling at 1.36%.
- scoottie, on 01/03/2008, -0/+6meant to type of any importance
- Cl1mh4224rd, on 01/03/2008, -2/+8> "lets not jump to any conclusions...do your thing...sell your stock, boycott"
Heh. Heh-heh. Hehehe. You think a significant number of diggers know something about stocks. Heh-heh. That's cute. - holmesfour, on 01/03/2008, -4/+10Ron Paul supporters had nothing to do with this and I doubt many of them own stock, because if they did they'd realize the implications of what would happen to the stock market if he were ever to be elected. All of the indices were down and the market was freaking out over bad economic data on manufacturing and $100 a barrel oil.
News Corp is still trading above its 52-week low, and has been on the slide downward since the beginning of October. - dan222555, on 01/03/2008, -1/+7Look everyone Kraft Foods was down 1.78% on the day! http://www.cnbc.com/id/15837272
It must be the result of the Kool-Aid boycott me and my friends instigated yesterday!! - harrisbradley, on 01/03/2008, -1/+7The Dow jones closed (-1.67%) today, everyone is down today. By Friday, after the first caucus is done, it'll be through the roof with bargin hunters, and more stability. And so will News Corp
- GoatRoper, on 01/03/2008, -6/+12Leave it to the tards.
I blame them for $100 a barrel oil and Hawaii losing to Georgia last night as well if they actually affected the stock price. - inactive, on 01/03/2008, -7/+12You are joking, right? You couldn't possibly be ***** stupid enough to think that a 1.36% drop means a ***** thing. If someone submitted a story every time a major company's stock dropped $1.36 in a day, there would be nothing but those stories on Digg.
But if it makes you feel better about your sorry ass life to think that you are causing this more than say, the writers strike or slower than usual Hollywood box office, then go right ahead. (like any of you worthless RonPaulians owned stock in News Corp to begin with.) - MrSkrilla, on 01/03/2008, -11/+16what the ***** does ron paul have to do with this? ***** all of you ron paul ***** lovers - im so ***** sick of you
- GoatRoper, on 01/03/2008, -5/+10The Paultards think that this was somehow their doing
- Cl1mh4224rd, on 01/03/2008, -0/+5Ron Paul 20008? Really? Wow...
- daldinkerson, on 01/03/2008, -1/+6Don't know if I buy that it's all Ron Paul supporters. CBS is tracking nearly the same trading pattern and Viacom is doing even worse over the past couple of days. If it's an industry wide trend those Ron Paul supporters are really taking advantage of it. It's actually tracking almost exactly the Dow Jones average. Amazing! When you look at trends, look at them all please.
Waiting for my comment to be buried. - Brad324, on 01/03/2008, -2/+6it happen's to the best of us
- LuaPron, on 01/03/2008, -0/+4As much as I like Ron Paul and don't care at all for faux news, I seriously doubt that their bias actually caused a drop that just happened to coincide with an overall drop in the value of stocks. Ron Paul's supporters aren't even likely to be holding newscorp stock to begin with, except for shares lined to mutual funds. They are much more likely to have gold and silver. If anything, many of Ron Paul's supporters are a lot wealthier today, considering how the price of gold jumped almost 3% today.
- Cl1mh4224rd, on 01/03/2008, -2/+6> "The Paultards think that this was somehow their doing"
Much like any Internet-heavy movement, they have a severely inflated sense of their importance to the real world. - Jereome209, on 01/03/2008, -4/+8except it is our financial system that is taking the bombing.
- pidge, on 01/03/2008, -1/+5Honestly you people are nuts. The whole stock market is down today. Time Warner is down also. I guess that means their stock holders are also saying down with the fascist CNN.
- Yamahaha, on 01/03/2008, -2/+6I believe the typical Ron Paul supporter is against corporations getting involved in who can be president. This whole debacle of Fox news censoring Ron Paul's message by not allowing him in the debate is exactly that. A corporation making the decisions for you on what message they want you to hear. Even if your not a Ron Paul supporter you have to be insulted by this.
