I wonder if Piers Akerman was inspired by this reported outburst attributed to Rupert Murdoch:

"Maybe most Moslems peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible."

Indeed, today's papers have featured a self-serving chorus from Murdoch mouthpieces who have built careers on exploiting and even abusing the freedom and power afforded by their roles in the media - power and freedom that no mainstream Australian enjoys.

The challenge for the likes of Akerman and Murdoch is to demonstrate how what they preach differs from those they're targeting.
