    His business skills and savvy is what awes me. I especially like how he has cornered the media industry. And while so many of the Liberal news channels hate him I actually enjoy listening to his networks.

    Seioursly he is not given as much credit as he is due. And I kind of hate the fact how the liberal media in the US hates him just because he does not follow their mold of "news".

    Rupert Murdoch enjoys a particularly unique niche amongst Australian Entrepreneurs.

    That he has conquered the Australian Market and then moved to the US says much about his appetite for (destruction) acquisition...

    I worked for Rupert Murdoch back in the early 70's, and the thing that use to amaze me was the depth of his knowledge of the large number of companies he owned back then. He was up-to-date on day to day issues in even small companies. Plus his strategic plans, even back then, were way ahead of the market. A brilliant business mind. However, I have to say his politics in the US have gone mad, his Fox channel is just encouraging 'red-necks', maybe he's finally loosing the plot, Murdock used to be more principled than that.
