I, for one, don't beleive that Rupert Murdoch has a heart, let alone that it's in the right place. With him it's a very simple question, does it help his business? It's all about the Benjamins. And that's OK. I know how to influence someone who is motivated by his business' success or failure.
And I don't care if he respects me, so long as he fears pissing us off.
I agree with your take on Murdock
