People love to hate Rupert Murdoch because of how he is destroying the media and the press. What a pile of shit. We blame him, is all. If that makes you feel smug, then fine.
“Murdoch isn’t an agent for evil or good, he’s a very efficient agent for change. The media industry is rapidly transforming, and Murdoch is one of the few in the business to have sense enough to clean up from it.” Via TheStreet.com
Instead, what Rupert Murdoch is doing is simply shamelessly and fearlessly profiting from a drastic shift in the market.
Since Murdoch doesn’t fancy the press as Holy, he doesn’t give a toss about journalistic integrity or objectivity. He’s smart and I admire him.
If Rupert Murdoch ends up buying the Wall Street Journal, my fave paper, he will have completed his goal of noting about the media, like the child in The Emperor’s New Clothes, “But he has nothing on!”
