- sph 4y agoOh right, I guess one that was able to influence three of the richest countries in the world just isn't worth thinking about. That's the worst kind of pedantic whataboutism.

The impact of Murdoch’s success in the hardest environment available, has been the long ringing death knell of many ideas we hold as intrinsic to civilized society. The fact that Rupert Murdoch’s model worked, has not been lost on hundreds of tyrants around the world.
