I normally like Horowitz, but this is just plain misleading, since the article plainly states that its making Abu Dhabi the base of its MIDDLE EAST operations, not relocating the company there. Thank you, you saved me the trouble of saying the same thing. I see this as very positive.

Wait though, I understand what you are saying on it seeming like it’s ‘just’ the Middle Eastern branch of News Corp, but it quotes Murdoch of saying he had hoped to be a US based company...
I’m confused.

So what? He’s putting his Middle East company in the most pro-American country in the area. Many, many American companies are doing it including Halliburton. They must have tax and employment laws that are designed to attract corporations.

I’d rather the Middle East get its news from NewsCorp than Al Jazeera or CNN (but I repeat myself....)

Yep...Horowitz has a history, especially lately, of doing that. It doesn’t help his credibility.

I wonder how many people reading this thread think Murdoch is an American?

I hope this does not mean they will have to cover-up Alisyn Camerota in a burqua...

"This is good right? I mean, the free market types told me that business should do whats best for making money." Maybe. If he thinks he can make a quick buck before the terrorists blow up his offices then I guess more power to him. BTW he is moving his middle east operations there, not the whole company.

Rupert Murdoch has turned into the real-life version of Network's Arthur Jensen.

Uh, this is somewhat misleading, folks.
Fox will still be based out of the US. Some global operations currently in Hong Kong will now be out of Abu Dhabi.

I noticed that, too. I wondered if that what it’s meant to say.

NewsCorp has many divisions. There is an Australian division operated out of Sydney. The North American division is operated out of New York. The European division is operated out of London. The Asian division is operated out of Hong Kong. In reading this it sounds like he splitting the Asian division into two parts-one that concentrates on southeast Asia and Chinese/Hindi/Urdu speaking peoples and a southwestern Asia/Middle Eastern that concentrates on predominately Arabic speakers. It is a smart business move to do so. Keyword is BUSINESS, folks. In the coming decades the place to make money is not going to be Europe or North America, it will be in Asia. Anyone who understands what is going on in the world knows this and is making the appropriate moves.
