I can't really blame good old Rupert for just being a capitalist. If I had control of a bunch of retarded conspiracy theorists who believed everything I put in front of them on TV, why not just go with it and cash the advertising checks?
Let's face it, this country is full of stupid and gullible people. Why not profit from that? If I was him, I'd just think like the greedy clown who keeps making these "Fast and Furious" movies. If people are dumb enough to keep watching the crap, be smart enough to keep giving them more bullshit.
