Rupert Murdoch and Bradley Manning: Why Isn't Murdoch in Jail and Manning Free? Submitted by mark karlin on Thu, 08/04/2011 - 1:26pm.

Guest Commentary

JANE STILLWATER FOR BUZZFLASH AT TRUTHOUT

What if you were to obtain government information that is important to the public and then give it to someone to disseminate it widely? How should you be punished? If you are Bradley Manning, you will be thrown in jail, tortured, humiliated, deprived of even basic creature comforts and forced to sleep naked in an isolation cell.

Can you even imagine this same thing happening to Rupert Murdoch? Ever?

Let's compare these two men's actions. Manning made public some vital information that was necessary to help Americans know more truthfully about what is going on here and thus help us to be able to make better decisions based on correct facts.

Murdoch made public some falsified information that caused America to get stuck with George W. Bush whether we wanted him or not, to get unnecessarily embroiled in several illegal and disastrous wars that cost America trillions of dollars we could ill afford and to support ghastly financial policies that stripped our economy to the bone.

And where are Murdoch and Manning now?

Bradley Manning is currently incarcerated at Leavenworth federal penitentiary -- and with no end in sight to his ordeal.

And Murdoch? I'm not really sure where Rupert Murdoch is now -- probably in his 44-million-dollar apartment overlooking Central Park? Who knows for sure. But I betcha anything that there is gonna be no torture or jail time involved.

Short answer: Manning is little people, Murdoch is elite.

Exactly - you beat me to it. Murdoch was working mainly to further the control agenda in his media empire and Manning was seeking to expose the truth. There is a big difference between the two.

Manning is Murdoch's superior in moral character. The elite don't like that shit.

I believe that on some deep, deep, level the elite know that they are lower than whale-shit, but they've given themselves over to the dark side, and so they continue to pursue their evil agenda.

I think you are correct. Each of us has a moral compass and knows what is right and what is wrong. Sadly some are so disturbed that they choose wrong, knowing it to be wrong, and then to justify it to themselves try to claim it as right.

A quote of unknown origin shared with me by a very literate Aunt runs something like this:

It is the nature of the truly great that they make others feel that they too can be great.

Einstein, regardless of any faults, was truly great and his record in his lifetime was to encourage others to reach for greatness. One can find the same in some of the truly great personages of history, St. Thomas, Thomas Jefferson, JFK, Martin Luther King. All were mere mortals with failings and yet they rose above their failings to encourage and inspire.
