He talks about Murdoch's actions in "1958" but then says that his actions are happening nearly a century later. Was that date inaccurate? Because 52 years doesn't strike me as a full nearly-a-century.
- tomjen3 16y agoThe battle if talks about took place about ninety-five years ago.
- oops 16y agoThere are two separate dates. 1958 is a Rupert Murdoch quote and "nearly a century" ago is Rupert's father Keith re: World War I.

- 0x44 16y agoJulian Assange mentions a young Rupert Murdoch writing in 1958 and suggests that the Murdoch's observation reflected on the latter's father's actions in World War 1 nearly 100 years ago. Within Australia the date is probably understood from cultural memory/context.

- bambax 16y agoNo. He's talking about Rupert Murdoch's writings, in 1958, reflecting on Keith Murdoch's revelations about Gallipoli. Keith Murdoch was Rupert's father. The Gallipoli campaign happened during WWI, in 1915-1916, nearly a century ago.
- rorymarinich 16y agoAha! That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for clearing up!
