A new book reflects on the Orwellian tactics exercised by Rupert Murdoch through his News Corp bureaucracy, writes Rodney E. Lever.

When Rupert Murdoch and I were growing up in the 1930s and 1940s there was one name on everybody’s lips: Adolf Hitler ― a man who seemed to have appeared from nowhere and, by 1946, had completely disappeared, his remains buried under a concrete garage driveway near an obscure town in Siberia.

I never discussed Hitler or World War I with Rupert in the 20 years I worked for him. I had no particular reason to do so

A brilliant example of how writing is often contrived to mislead us. Learn to spot things like this and you may get closer to the truth as you ask who benefits from the warped opinions we form as we read facts arranged illogically around other irrelevant fact.

Thanks for educating us Hedda.
