Does anybody here still defend Murdoch and his empire?


I guess not.

Obviously, only you care. Even your davieboy never chimed in.

 

However, from your wikipedia: Sumner Redstone who owns CBS....

 

 

Net worth

In 2007 he was ranked #86 on Forbes magazine's list of the hundred richest people in the world, with an estimated worth of US$ 9 billion. The declining stock market of late 2008 impacted his wealth. Recently, with the partial recovery of the stock market, Sumner Redstone's net worth is again on the rise.[37] In March 2011, Forbes estimated Sumner's net worth to be 3.8 billion dollars.[38]

[edit] Political views

While claiming to be a Democratic supporter, and having a history of donating to many Democratic campaigns, including regular donations to the late Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle,[39] he endorsed Republican George W. Bush over Kerry in the 2004 Presidential election, allegedly because he argued that Bush would be better for his company and the economy.[40] Despite this public endorsement, he donated money to John F Kerry during the primaries.

 

This is more interesting than Murdoch....

No, Murdoch is much more interesting.    He will be giving testimony before the House of Commons along with his son and his chief executive in the UK.    It might even get much more interesting.
What's your interest in the head of CBS?
