Ruperty Murdoch is certainly one of the most intelligent business men in the world. This may be my opinion but how can you argue with the enormous media empire he has built?
His company, News Corporation is among the largest, richest and most successful businesses in the world. Rupert got his start in 1952 when he inherited Adelaide News (an Austrailian mid-size daily) and the Adelaide Sunday Mail. He then started buying business after business. In between buying businesses, he started others. His parent company, News Corporation currently owns newpapers, television stations, movie studios, production companies and much more. In 1985, Rupert even became an American citizen if for no other reason than to be able to purchase even more American businesses. The American Dream comes true, for an Austrailian! (Lets not overlook the fact that he also owned the Los Angeles Dodgers at one time! America's Pastime!)
The News Corporation empire is true synergy in action. The subsidiaries are all tied togther and have the ability to self promote each other and build foundation for continued growth. I realize that some of you may feel that too big is a bad thing. You may ask, "when is enough enough?" or, "when is big big enough?" I can't answer that. But I do not have a problem with Rupert or his business continuing to grow. I have found nothing to show that he is breaking any laws. More power to him. Go Rupert Go!
