The Man Who Owns the News

If you want to know everything (and that means EVERYTHING) about the notorious media magnate Rupert Murdoch, check out this book. Like a good journalist, narrator Don Leslie delivers the story with perfect dispassion. This is exactly what the book calls for, and the approach only underlines the sad life of one of the richest men in the world. Most journalists hold Murdoch in disdain. The founder of Fox News, the owner of the NEW YORK POST, and, to the horror of reporters everywhere, the new owner of the WALL STREET JOURNAL has never shied away from using his media for his own ends. At least with Wolff's book, people can learn more about Murdoch and how he got that way. Like him or not, he's had an interesting life. M.S. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
