Rupert Murdoch has been lauded as this country’s “most talented and influential” business figure after the Australian-born global media baron retired from the front lines of his empire after seven decades in charge.
“He changed the face of media and was always intensely interested in the battle of ideas. At Wapping in the 1980s he stared down the print unions, thus striking a blow for free speech.” “Rupert Murdoch is one of Australia’s great business success stories, having built up News Corporation and Fox Corporation over the last seven decades both in Australia and overseas,” said fellow media mogul Kerry Stokes, who has done business both opposite and alongside Mr Murdoch for decades.“In his new role as Chairman Emeritus, I expect Rupert will continue to play an important role in both groups.
“Elites have open contempt for those who are not members of their rarefied class,” Mr Murdoch wrote. “Most of the media is in cahoots with those elites, peddling political narratives rather than pursuing the truth.”In the statement, Mr Murdoch also sought to connect the three generations of media proprietors in his family, from his father Keith to his son Lachlan.
