Rupert Murdoch is a name that I hear quite alot. And until now I never really understood who he was. Upon googling him and looking through this article, I have found out that he is just another rich snob trying to get money. Murdoch was the founder of News Corp. Through creating the media giant, he has benefited from much of its profits to the tune of a $4 billion net worth. The man is clearly well endowed yet he strives for more.
According to this article, Murdoch would like to file a lawsuit with companies like Google, Microsoft, Ask.com, and the BBC for using clippings from his newspapers. But really how does one not use stories from some of the biggest newspapers in the world? In all reality it really is unavoidable. Murdoch knows this, yet he holds the threat of a lawsuit over their heads. Murdoch is simply one of those wealthy men who gets too much attention because of his money. Like the article states, "Rupert Murdoch knows two modes: doing things and talking about doing things." Murdoch's age may be playing a factor in his stubborn appeal, but he should certainly never be considered down for the count. Even though Murdoch's investment in Myspace is failing rapidly, he is looking to liquidize his assets and start new.
