rupert murdoch

Progress through the ages has always faced opposition columbus faced the waves, the wright brothers faced gravity and web 2.0 now faces Rupert Murdoch (or in his mind, web 2.0 stands in the way of his progress). For anyone who does'nt know this man heres a brief insight-

  • Inherrits newspaper
  • buys magazines, a record label, tv channels, publishing houses, airline, power
  • sells media to the globe
  • uses the media for propaganda
  • Blurs the line between news and commentary
  • becomes mortified by the world of free information that web 2.0 promises
  • Decides that access to information should be restricted for the sake of his bank account
