Obviously, two sides to the argument, so rather than portraying this as Murdoch v Malone, a more careful evaluation of the facts might be more appropriate.

Proof is in the pudding Discovery have form for this behaviour they did it in Norway, Romania, Germany, the USA and now they trying it here.
Their past behaviour certainly hasn't done them any favours.
What's saying that bt, tv player and possibly vm aren't next for discovery to pull this crap on?
I think vm will be ok though due to Malones stake in discovery but if it was SKY doing this to malone he'd soon be crying to ofcom.
Both murdoch and malone need a good kick up the backside.
