Sky News UK or Sky News Australia? BIG DIFFERENCE. If the former, that'd be great, if the latter....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe that's self explanatory!

Since The Simpsons have taken their fair share of jabs at Rupert & Co.....

 

Here's another question....

The UK version, if I recall correctly.

 

Besides, If it was Sky News Australia, would we even notice?

Yeah, I say let him have a go with it. He'd either sink it completely or it would stay as bad as it already is. No real downside.

Just because he is "retiring" does not allow him to avoid being held accountable. He is probably still the top shareholder still.

Rupert remains in control of the trust that owns 40 or so percent of the company for the benefit of his children, yes.

James Murdoch would be the son that wanted to go more towards a “straight News” approach. He was push out of the company in a power struggle with Lachlan

I had a feeling that one of these days that Rupert Murdoch was going to step down from Fox he built an empire with Fox. All the best Rupert enjoy retirement.
