Boycotting Murdoch

I won't buy the Times or Sunday Times anymore and haven't done for a while because of its overt BBC bashing and I-sky cross promotion.

I will pick up the Sun or the NOTW in a barbers but haven't bought either for years, mainly because of the journalistic practises but also - of course - because they are utterly moronic.

Sky (and Sports) is a tricky one though. If there were something else in the market then I would choose it, but I can't get cable and obviously they all but have a monopoly on the best live sport. Refuse to watch test cricket, the Ryder Cup and NCFC games because of NOTW hacks? Just doesn't stack up.
