Rupert has long been a sick shopaholic. He sees it. He wants it. He buys it. That's that. Until the next sitting duck catches his eye And he has to have it. How long till kersplat, And the billionaire's got it? It's suddenly his! What he will do with it's still to be seen – How long can he wait to complete his collection Of candidates so his TV News can feature "Christine"? There's no cheaper way to buy an election Than to sign those you like to deliver their views. Don't buy advertisements. Just hire the candidate As a featured contributor for Murdoch's Fox News. Then sign their opponents to ironclad contracts. Make them exclusive. Give them less broadcast time, Locking them in so they can't appear elsewhere – To their kangaroo court that would not be a crime. For he and Scalia are sure Francis Scott Key Sang "Waltzing Matilda" by the dawn's early light, Giving immigrant Aussies the keys to the city And robbing opponents of their will to fight. Must we say goodbye to all of our media Except the official one, Murdoch's Fox News? Though he bought Scotland Yard and helped BBC shrink, Could his FCC force C-SPAN to book his kangaroos?
