Murdoch has used this to maintain control over Fox for some time.

"Twitter emulates Fox News and channels the spirit of Rupert Murdoch"! -- A headline for the current age of media.

'Poison Pill' strategy is something that happens.

It's a quixotic artifact of power that plays some stakeholders against others, but it's not new.

I don't think it's a headline, but it's definitely relevant.

It kind of bothers me that this would receive down-votes.
