"Abu Dhabi is future base for News Corp: Murdoch

News Corp chief Rupert Murdoch announced on Tuesday that the Gulf emirate of Abu Dhabi is to become the headquarters of his global media empire in the Middle East.

Addressing some 400 delegates at the opening of the Abu Dhabi Media Summit, Murdoch said his corporation had started out as a small Australian firm to become a US-based international company that employs 64,000 people.

"I have every confidence that Arab companies can do the same and more. I also believe that Abu Dhabi can lead the way."

Murdoch said News Corp would headquarter its Middle Eastern global online advertising operations in Abu Dhabi, and move a number of satellite television channels to the capital of the United Arab Emirates from Hong Kong.

"We will (also) establish a production office here for one of our documentary film-making companies," he said.

"When we look to the future, News Corporation is betting on the creative potential of the more than 335 million people who make up the Arab world," he added. "

LOL! Hey, if I get a few drinks in me, I really get to rolling. Maybe in a few years I’ll be out drinking and running around again.

But back to FOX, I can just see Al Qaeda and the Jihadits taking over the tower, beheading the staff, and broadcasting it all over the world.

parsy, who don’t plan to travel to those parts of the world no time soon
