Rupert Murdoch idézet

Keith Rupert Murdoch ausztrál-amerikai médiamágnás, a News Corporation alapítója, majd annak utódcégeinek, így az ausztrál News Corp.-nak és az amerikai 21st Century Foxnak fő ügyvezetője. Jelenleg az ausztrál News Corp. és a Fox Corporation társügyvezetője.

1953-ban Murdoch a News Limited ügyvető igazgatója lett, amit az apjától örökölt. Az 1950-60-as években megszerezte több ausztrál és új-zélandi újságnak a tulajdonjogát. Az Egyesült Királyságban 1969-ben kezdett el terjeszkedni, Murdoch megvásárolta a News of the World-öt és a The Sun-t, melyet Nagy-Britannia legolvasottabb napilapjává tett. 1974-ben New York-ba költözött és az Egyesült Államokban is elkezdett terjeszkedni. 1985-ben amerikai állampolgárrá vált. 1981-ben megvette a The Times-t. Murdoch News Corporation-je 2000-ben közel 800 céget birtokolt több mint 50 országban.

A News Corporation 2013-ban vált szét, utódcégei a 21st Century Fox és az ausztrál hírlapokat üzemeltető új News Corporation lettek. Előbbi nagyobb részét a The Walt Disney Company 2019-ben felvásárolta, Murdoch a cég maradék részéből új céget hozott létre Fox Corporation név alatt.

Murdoch eddig háromszor került be a Time 100-ba, a világ legbefolyásosabb emberei közé. 2010-ben Murdoch a 13. helyet foglalta el a Forbes A világ leghatalmasabb emberei című listáján. Murdoch vagyona 7,6 milliárd dollár körül van, így 2011 márciusában a 117. leggazdagabb ember volt a világban. Wikipedia

“News — communicating news and ideas, I guess — is my passion. And giving people alternatives so that they have two papers to read (and) alternative television channels.”

“They’ve started it. We’ve had bitter, personal attack on some of our people. They tried to destroy our credibility as a network. But it is only natural that the people can stand who were personally attacked and their children were personally attacked should fight back and I support them. I support my people completely.”

Remarks after the Hitler diaries turned out to be forgeries.
Robert Harris, Selling Hitler

“In this country, Fox News has gotten a big, big audience that appreciates its independence. There's passion there, and it's pushed. … It has taken a long boot time, but it has now changed CNN because it has challenged them — they've become more centrist in their choice of stories. They're trying to become, using our phrase, more fair and balanced.”

“The greatest thing to come out of this [the war in Iraq] for the world economy, if you could put it that way, would be $20 a barrel for oil. That's bigger than any tax cut in any country.”

“While it's impossible to be completely prepared for a downturn of this magnitude, we began priming ourselves for a weakening economy earlier last year. We have implemented strict cost cutting measures across all our operations. We have reduced headcount in individual businesses where appropriate and we've scaled back on capital expenditures. Even in plush times, we have never been a company that tolerates fat. So in times like these, we are better positioned to weather this cycle than our competitors.”

“Keith Olbermann is trying to make a business out of destroying Bill O'Reilly. He's done certain things to Bill O'Reilly that I believe were way over the line. I think that's bad behavior. But it's okay for him to criticize Bill. And Bill shouldn't be so sensitive. He should ignore that.”
