You say Myspace as though you own the place.

About Me

I OWN MYSPACE.

I was expelled from my mothers womb on the cold night of March 11th, 1931 in Melbourne, Australia. I studied at Oxford, but my big break came when I was given control of my father's newspaper "the Adelaide News". From this small town paper I have grown my omnipresent media monstronsity, cleverly titled as "The News Corporation" into one of the largest and most influential media groups in the world.

Politicians swoon over me and often times persuade me to cover their campaigns favorably. My empire covers television, filmed entertainment, cable network programming, book publishing, direct broadcast satellite television, magazines and newspapers.
My iron claw covers the United States, Australia, Continental Europe, the United Kingdom, Asia and the Pacific Basin.

I was made an American citizen in 1985, although I don't pay taxes.

I ditched my wife of 30 years for a woman almost 40 years younger than myself.

I purchased Myspace for $580,000,000 in July...but the news didn't really cover that story.
I am worth billions.
Jealous?

My Interests

Doling out the news on a strictly need to know basis.
Keeping the ignorant "in the know", if you will.

I'd like to meet:

Readers, Listeners, and Viewers.
Chinese citizens
Politicians that enjoy positive political coverage.

Music:

The beautiful siren song of Bill O'Reilly. He has a majestic quality that the Baby Boomers find absolutely irresistible.

Movies:

I own these studios:

    20th Century Fox
    Fox Searchlight Pictures
    Fox Television Studios
    Blue Sky Studios

My Blog

You can go ahead and cover your ads now...

From the desk of Rupert Murdoch, Dear Myspace subscribers, I know that it was taboo at one time to cover you ads. But I run this place now and let me assure you that I have more than enough capital ...
