The "billionare tyrant" media mogul who built a world-wide media empire out of just a few Australian newspapers. Founder and CEO of NewsCorp, the parent company of such broadcasting networks as FOX and Sky. While he has not broken any monopoly laws, he has through skill and cunning managed to bypass them to control huge portions of the media in such countries as India and Australia. Unquestionably right-wing, he has made no secret that his networks are made to "promote his values." It's not like it's a secret, though many would have you believe otherwise.
Also of note: He is the arch-nemisis of the pencil-thin moustache wearin', traitor-banging, moody American media mogul Ted Turner who owns the city of Atlana including the Falcons, the Braves in addition to such cable networks as CNN, TNT, TBS and TMC among others. He once challanged Murdoch to a pay-per-view boxing match which the entire world (myself in particular) would love to see.
I share his birthday too: March 11th.

You started with a mere one dollar and managed to control most of the western world? Bravo, Jimmy. You're a regular Rupert Murdoch.

A man who is responsible for lots of damage with his propaganda machine “news” networks. Specifically with Fox News in the US, that has spread so much disinformation to millions of Americans. This has created a massive cult of ignorance and facts denial within the country. This cult eventually manifested itself in the form of the events that took place at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
So yeah, Rupert Murdoch has caused lots of damage. People who have consumed the propaganda and lies from his “news” networks have completely disconnected from reality. Some of these people have become so severely deluded that it is almost frightening.
