More quotes by Rupert Murdoch
My worry about the New York Times is that it's got the only position as a national elitist general-interest paper. So the network news picks up its cues from the Times. And local papers do too. It has a huge influence. And we'd love to challenge it.
Rupert Murdoch
News - communicating news and ideas, I guess - is my passion. And giving people alternatives so that they have two papers to read (and) alternative television channels.
Rupert Murdoch
I try to keep in touch with the details... I also look at the product daily. That doesn't mean you interfere, but it's important occasionally to show the ability to be involved. It shows you understand what's happening.
Rupert Murdoch
I have to admit that, until recently, I was somewhat wary of the (global) warming debate. I believe it is now our responsibility to take the lead on this issue.
Rupert Murdoch
We must have sweeping, generous immigration reform, make existing law- abiding Hispanics welcome. Most are hard working family people.
Rupert Murdoch
News Corporation, today, reaches people at home and at work... when they're thinking... when they're laughing... and when they are making choices that have enormous impact. The unique potential - and duty - of a media company are to help its audiences connect to the issues that define our time.
Rupert Murdoch
I've operated and launched newspapers all over the world.
Rupert Murdoch
I did not come all this way not to interfere
Rupert Murdoch
Don't let's lose sight of what creates wealth. It is open markets, it is capitalism.
Rupert Murdoch
One thing I resent is the slur that I just support political candidates because of the business.
Rupert Murdoch
The UK desperately needs less government and freer markets.
Rupert Murdoch
I think the important thing is that there be plenty of newspapers, with plenty of different people controlling them, so that there are a variety of viewpoints, so there is a choice for the public. This is the freedom of the press that is needed.
Rupert Murdoch
I have never asked a prime minister for anything.
Rupert Murdoch
People are reading news for free on the web, that's got to change.
Rupert Murdoch
I think a newspaper should be provocative, stir 'em up, but you can't do that on television. It's just not on.
Rupert Murdoch
We need to push ourselves to make as many reductions as possible in our own energy use first - and that takes time. But we must do this quickly - the climate will not wait for us.
Rupert Murdoch
We could make a difference just by holding our emissions steady as our businesses continue to grow. But that doesn't seem to be enough: we want to go all the way to zero... Today, I am announcing our intention to be carbon neutral, across all our businesses, by 2010.
Rupert Murdoch
The buck stops with the guy who signs the checks.
Rupert Murdoch
We've got to lift our game tremendously. We'll sell our business news and information in print, we'll sell it to anyone who's got a cable system, and we'll sell it on the Web.
Rupert Murdoch
In motivating people, you've got to engage their minds and their hearts. I motivate people, I hope, by example - and perhaps by excitement, by having productive ideas to make others feel involved.
Rupert Murdoch
