Deep down Murdoch only has a love of money. |
Murdoch doesn't own Sky... It's a PLC... At least at the moment. The Murdoch family are major shareholders, but not the outright owners - nor are they in charge of the publicity/marketing (of which the team (& the other funded BC schemes) is not the greatest expense either).

You mean owners then -  OK so technically not 100%owners but that's not the test (they could be even if it is a PLC - being a PLC does not mean you are publically owned - do you have figures on ultimate benficial ownership? - these are a matter of public record I just CBA to look them up) but are you telling me that shit happens in that organisation that RM doesn't aprove of ?
Maybe the Sky project is too small to flicker on his radar. My own (admittedly limited) experience of dealing with billionaires would suggest to the contrary, i.e that he would have quite a good handle on what was going on (commercial results - not wins). |
Rupert Murdoch isn't even head of the News Corp anymore... Do keep up!

Yeah he is!

According to the News Corp website he is listed as both Chairman and CEO. He owns a dominant shareholding (with voting rights) in the company which in turn owns a dominant stake in BskyB.
Do keep up.
