Business and the media with Rupert Murdoch

Rupert Murdoch owns the controlling interest in News Corporation, which in turn owns media properties on five continents — properties that include some 170 newspapers, dozens of television stations, half a dozen television networks, a publishing company, and a movie studio. Murdoch discusses his media empire and the current state of the newspaper business, as well as other issues on Uncommon Knowledge.

@Federalist306 You need to have the Bankers backing you ...and the CFR ...

his news is mass manipulation media ...just like all the others .....

Very smart man, wouldn't want to stumble into his lair during a superbowl ..... scary.

Sadly, his corporation, as he no doubt knows, is extremely manipulative in attempting to change society through so many manners. Psychologically, culturally, politically and economically are just some of the methods. Imagine what great feats he may have achieved if he directed his empire instead of the promotion of corporations but to the good of mankind.

@wighto73 Well said.

@robreiken How many people died indeed? And from what?

I wonder if any of the 9 people who disliked this video didn't even watch it, but simply disliked it because they disagree with the point of view of Fox News.

R.I.F. Rupert, that's from the eventual Love/Hate Court, above all Courts, awaiting you.

@beepandbop no. Gordon Brown's poor judgement regarding financial regulation in 2005 meant unregulated banks flushed the economy down the toilet. Health care is fine - a shitload better than the farce of a system in the USA. Don't get me wrong - I don't like Labour, but Cameron's Big Society is closer to communism than Blair's sycophantic big-business escort service that was New Labour.

@paulhughes1379 they might as well be communists considering they flushed Britain's economy and healthcare down the toilet. Kruschev could only be so envious.

@wighto73 what condescending rubbish. " instead of the promotion of corporations but to the good of mankind." What the hell does that mean? Is there any corporation that doesn't act in its own interests? What about HUMAN BEINGS? What, is Al Gore some super man who is acting out of the goodness of his heart?

His interests are decidedly more selfish and parasitic than any corporation's.

How many people have died because of Murdochs Propaganda Media Machine, always biased & mainipulative. As always mixing the truth up with the lies so that people can never really figure out what really is going on. They'll tell you what they want you to beleive & not report on the real issues when something big is going down if they choose so as not to imform you on to achieve the goal they wish to seek. Alternative media is the way to go, Mainstream Media is totally corupt
