Hall of Famer Versus Contemptible News Organization

Los Angeles Times: Koufax Shuts Out Dodgers. Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax, whose brilliance on the mound captivated fans in the 1960s and defined the Dodgers’ greatest era in Los Angeles, has severed ties with the club in protest of another News Corp. subsidiary. Koufax, a very private man who established a standard for pitching excellence in four of the most dominant seasons in the game’s history from 1963-66, recently informed the Dodgers he would no longer attend spring training here at Dodgertown, visit Dodger Stadium or participate in activities while they are owned by the media conglomerate, because of a report in the New York Post that apparently intimated that he is homosexual. The Post is owned by News Corp.

Keith Olbermann (Salon): Rupert Murdoch Strikes Out. With the Sandy Koufax gay rumor, the News Corp. synergy sewer finally overflows.
