“It seemed to me at the time that, in the post-phone-hacking media world, Rupert’s marriage breakdown was treated vindictively and that a man well in to his 80s losing a wife with whom he had fathered two children was given no room to grieve for his loss.”*Lilliputian Pagnini holds the world's tiniest Stradivarius aloft*

Murdoch seems like the Mr. Potter character in It's a Wonderful Life, but instead of just spinning his evil web over Bedford Falls, MA, he fucks up whole nations.
