Murdochian 

1. A person who substantially agrees with Murdoch Maxwell

2. Murdoch Maxwell advocated for a voluntary society in which groups and individuals maintain and develop their culture or interests whilst maintaining a pluralist attitude valuing philoxenia love of strangers. Their philoxenia & a pluralist attitude are valued by each of the societies, despite them being apart of various schools of thought because they all consider the possibility that the other society is more correct. Each of these societies evinces a willingness to update their theories as more evidence becomes available. These voluntary societies treat their ideas like code where there are willing to update to new versions, fork into separate versions experimenting with different ideas, and are willing to boot up older iterations the knowledge they obtained with newer iterations.
Not Murdoch: "Dude your Murdochian ideology sounds a lot like GitHub."
Murdoch: "Yeah, it's totally GitHub dude."

The Murdochian Ideology 

Of or relating to the system of ideas and ideals, which forms the basis of Murdoch Maxwell's economic or political theory and policy.

Murdoch's ideal system of government allows many states, groups, principles, sources of authority, etcetera to compete & coexist; aiming to find a way to hyper-efficiency/truth via controlled experiments and empiricism
One could describe The Murdochian Ideology as a pluralistic, experimentalist, politically weak-agnostic, and unflapped by type II errors.

Murdochracy 

The murder of democracy through misinformation - via Rupert Murdoch's "news" outlets.
By framing the narrative through his tabloid and TV outlets in Australia, the US and UK, Rupert Murdoch manipulates the collective consensus, changing ostensibly democratically elected governments at will, to meet his commercial and political needs. Murdochracy is a hijacking of democracy by controlling, restricting and distorting the information on which people make decisions to vote.

Murdochracy 

Countries which were once democracies that are now governed by politicians who are either puppets of Rupert Mordoch or enact policies that conform to his view of the world.
Australia, Britain and the U.S are each an example of being a Murdochracy.

Murdochalypse 

The downfall of Rupert Murdoch (and his enterprises) in the United Kingdom, primarily, after it was revealed that they paid people to hack into the voicemails of people, including:
- 9/11 victims
- 7/7 victims

- Milly Dowler, a girl who was abducted and killed. Hacks deleted her voicemail messages, when her box was full, to make way for new messages, so they could get more info.
The News of the World paper printed its final edition in July 2011. This was only the start of the Murdochalypse.
It will probably be relaunched, under a new name, like The Sun On Sunday.
