reading The Making Of Rupert Murdoch..at Oxford he was a committed socialist , kept a bust of Lenin in his room and was called Red Rupert.

He was a campaigning editor in his early days championing difficult cases like saving an innocent Aboriginal man from being hanged.

His Pride and Joy The Australian newspaper still challenges the false allegations industry like the innocent Cardinal Pell and Kevin Spacey.

Somewhere along the line his love of journalism seems to have been taken over by the pursuit of immense power and multi billions$$.

I once asked him a question and he asked where I was from..a rival newspaper and he responded "well fuck off then" (Wendi winked )...I don't hold that against him..not like Trump who never paid me $3000 for a "tremendous job".
# I've worked for a Murdoch outlet..always pays well and on time without dramas.
