Murdoch attack on 'dominant' BBC
Aww,Rupert jr. doesn't like the BBC.


The chairman of the media giant in Europe, which owns the Times and Sun, also blamed the UK government for regulating the media "with relish".

"The expansion of state-sponsored journalism is a threat to the plurality and independence of news provision," Mr Murdoch said.

4. Yup, if there's one thing Rupert hates...
...it's large organizations that spin the news for their own benefit!
