md Why has he shown nothing but contempt for Rolf Harris? Could it be envy? I suspect this mainly because of their sharply contrasting backgrounds and characters. Sent off to boarding school at a very early age and groomed to take over a cut-throat business, Rupert Murdoch has spent most of his life within the rigid and relentless confines of meeting expectations and empire building. Rolf Harris's early life, by contrast, seems to have been highly non-conformist, joyous and carefree.
Silent Minority Sorry Hedda,wasnt very clear...and on a small phone...drying off during the water festival here...I'll pass on explanations.

Tories I like...if they're real Tories I expect your list will not be very long

Meant Kerry Packer...no idea about the rest of his kin....good night,must be early hours there now

For which he/Sky received nearly £12 billion - in return for a minority shareholding!

Give credit where it's due.

RM was a media visionary who foresaw the changes looming - in the worldwide media business.

For print, sport, satellite services etc.

And no he's not perfect - and yes he used his media empire for his own purposes.


Like Hearst, Beverbrook and so many.

Packer was a complete wanker,made Mr Hall almost acceptable...but he was very generous...had to be...made me a good few pounds... my wallet was quite sad when he passed on back in 2006...
...I'm actually quite close Hedda... may pop over in a few days...


I think you have the Packer thing confused.

Jamie Packer was dating Mariah Carey and successfully escaped her clutches. I know all his ex-wives and girlfriends..see them around town. they all get a t least one house and $1m Go Away Money.

I think Jerry Hall is great.

Rupert Murdoch is the Devil.
Without his support you wouldn't have got Tony Blair or George Bush Jnr and without Murdoch's world-wide support you wouldn't have got the Iraq War in which 100,000s died but of course that's just a statistic and The Devil is so charming (as Rupert is) that he can bedazzle you with things you would have got anyway (cable/ satellite TV etc..he didn't invent Fox you know-it was a booming film corporation when he bought it)1000s of people are dying.

Enjoy what time he has left..I fear Lachan will be merciless.
I worked for him when he sent the infamous memo to staff.."don't use the internet for research..it's a passing fad"

Both Rupert & Lachlan are now in disaster mode. Lachlan has lost $100Ms in busted ventures. He bought the non-profitable Oz Ten Network which is hemorrhaging $Millions every year. He talked his father into buying MySpace..the Chinese saw Rupert coming and sent him up guilelessly over Wendy Deng (wrong ethnic tribe..Chinese are real snobs) and charged Rupert $100M to discuss setting up a Chinese Cable network and then sent him packing saying the money was 'non-refundable"

Hedda knows (possibly the one area we disagree on) that I'm a Murdoch fan; he's incredibly attractive and bright, wonderful company and achieved wonders in the UK.

The print unions had become too powerful and needed reining in but there's something 'off' about Murdoch...a certain lack of soul I think.
