More quotes by Rupert Murdoch
Most newspaper companies still have their heads in the sand, but other media companies are aggressive.
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
We have no intention of failing. The only question is how great a success we'll have.
Rupert Murdoch
As with all politically lead governments, foreign investment is the slowest in the media section. Politicians are somewhat paranoid about the media but we still think it's worthwhile.
Rupert Murdoch
I'm a strange mixture of my mother's curiosity my father, who grew up the son of the manse in a Presbyterian family, who had a tremendous sense of duty and responsibility and my mother's father, who was always in trouble with gambling debts.
Rupert Murdoch
I am amazed that CNN can't get its act together.
Rupert Murdoch
I did not come all this way not to interfere
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
No one's going to be able to operate without a grounding in the basic sciences. Language would be helpful, although English is becoming increasingly international. And travel. You have to have a global attitude.
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've operated and launched newspapers all over the world.
Rupert Murdoch
We certainly employ a lot of immigrants at Fox... and we do not take any consistent anti-immigrant line.
Rupert Murdoch
Why would I spend $5 billion for something in order to wreck it?
Rupert Murdoch
If you want to judge my thinking, look at The Sun.
Rupert Murdoch
Look, the whole world wants to modernize, and when you look to what they mean by modernizing, they mean Americanize. Would a modern Greek prefer to live in Orange County than Piraeus? Yes. Absolutely.
Rupert Murdoch
We've got to get rid of the fear of failure in this country. In America, people start things, fail and shake themselves down and start things again. The animal spirit of capitalism is stronger there.
Rupert Murdoch
Is there any other industry [than the press] in this country which seeks to presume so completely to give the customer what he does not want?
Rupert Murdoch
I think everyone's against abortion.
Rupert Murdoch
Some of our businesses use more energy than others, but our strategy everywhere is the same... first, reduce our use of energy as much as possible. Then, switch to renewable sources of power where it makes economic sense... And, over time, as a last resort, offset the emissions we can't avoid.
Rupert Murdoch
The UK desperately needs less government and freer markets.
