At eighty-one years old, he employs over fifty thousand individuals.
Running companies valued in the billions, he manages to pull in millions of dollars weekly.
Starting from humble origins in Australia and expanding into major international media enterprises.
Perhaps you find it difficult to grasp the concerns of the politicians when they claim that Rupert Murdoch is unfit to operate large companies. The underlying issue is fear.
They repeatedly express anxiety over Rupert’s potential dominance over every newspaper, radio station, and TV channel worldwide. Their criticisms aim to prevent him from gaining control over global satellite TV networks. Did News Corp grow too large?… Without a doubt.
Were there errors made?… Certainly.
Did Rupert take steps to rectify these errors once he became aware of them?… He did, by shutting down NOW and acknowledging his mistakes.
There remains work to be done, but… is he senile?… Is he finished?… Is he too old to make decisions? I don’t believe so.
Cornering an Aussie and hurling insults will bring significant trouble.
To the politicians in the UK, my recommendation is, ‘Leave our Rupert alone.’
