Journalism 101:

Meet D. B. Norton

In this touching sequel to the 1941 Frank Capra classic “Meet John Doe,” the late, great Edward Arnold is replaced by media magnate Rupert Murdoch, publisher of Sun News.

Synopsis:

Thousands of “D. B. Norton” clubs have sprung up around the world, inspired by the genius of D. B. Norton (Murdoch) in combining socialist appeals to “the people,” cunningly orchestrated by Labour Party head Tony Blair, with capitalist know-how, skillfully organized by U. S. President George Bush.

Threatening the success of the Norton clubs is troublemaker “John Doe,” a nobody who must be dealt with before a new day can dawn for humanity, with Murdoch leading both the masses of the East and the investors of the West into the glorious future.

Required reading:

  1. The Beijing Version,
    for the Masses
  2. The Tony Blair Version,
    for the Investors
  3. The Jayson Blair Version,
    for Aspiring Journalists
  4. The Troublemaker’s
    “Weapons of Mass Distraction”
    Version, for those few
    who prefer truth

Compare and contrast.
