to me rupert murdoch represents whats wrong with the world
when someone can 'corner a market' like he has it makes way for exactly what his news services do..conform to an extent, they push there agenda and quite litreally fuck up the world
business is a great thing, but should we really support this amount of control by one group?
to me he is not an australian
i think he is really admireable
Can you share more management techniques in your future post.
sell in
Living in England because of my working commitments, I can assure you there's nothing admirable about this man. He's absolutely hated in the UK and has been for many years. Murdoch is known over here as a habitual job-slaying egotist who has consistently used his influences for financial gain at the expense of others.Originally Posted by aapkae
Nothing has been proven yet to indicate that Murdoch approved the phone tapping activity by News of the World staff. However, it seems unlikely that somebody within an organisation would tap into the phone line of the parents of a murdered schoolgirl without some sort of approval from the higher levels of the hierarchical structure.
I struggle to consider him an Australian too. Thankfully, the Brits are still too busy enthusing over Paul Hogan after all these years to really care about him!
As our resident Pom, the feelings towards Rupert Murdoch, and News International in particular, are at an all-time low. Obviously, there is nothing at all to say that Rupert Murdoch ever approved some of the phone-tapping operations over the past few years but as the key figure within his own organisation, he's the obvious hate figure for the British public.
I have other reasons for not particularly caring for RM. The Sky TV Network has revolutionised the way British sports are 'packaged' but top-level football has changed for the worse. The knock-on effects of producing the so-called 'best league in the world' has isolated the traditional supporter and the ridiculous financial demands of players has led to a major increase in ticket prices. This means that working class supporters following top-level teams can no longer afford to watch their sides play 'live'. The way the game has been packaged might be exciting for the armchair supporter, but it's been nothing more than a death knoll for the traditional fan who simply wants to go to a game.
Random rant, I know, but Murdoch will have even more to answer for when our national game implodes and club begin to go out of business while they chase the riches that Sky TV offer for Premiership sides.
None of you know what the hell I'm talking about, do you?
