That effort should compel us to confront an uncomfortable reality underlying both the British phone-hacking scandal, with its penumbra of appalling cruelty and wanton corruption, and Fox News, America’s most popular news channel: too many people want what the News Corporation has been offering. And what too many people want can be dangerous to a civilized, law-based society.
这一动向将迫使我们面对一种令人厌恶的现实，这一现实同时隐藏于英国电话窃听丑闻和福克斯新闻网背后，前者有着骇人听闻的残忍和蛮横的腐败，而后者作为美国最受欢迎的新闻频道，有太多人喜欢新闻集团所提供的东西。而太多人想要的东西却可能对一个文明法制社会构成危害。
