My guess is free market forces would rule. If Murdoch were to buy Twitter,


sure Liberals would likely be freaked out and worry like they were when he bought Nat Geo (reminds me I need to follow up and see what's going on there these days), but liberals also tend to be early adopters and I'd imagine they would simply move on to (or create) another platform if they felt Twitter or Facebook was becoming anything like Fox News.

Some of the Twitter conservatives who were pissed about today suggested people move over to another platform (name escapes me) to prevent this from happening again. I don't see that happening of course, they'll get over this. Just another silly thing to be paranoid about and express outrage over.
