News Corporation or News Corp. is an ineffective Bogan media conglomerate competing with superior companies around the world. Examples of better companies include Bertelsmann, Viacom... well any company but News Corp. It has risen to great infamy though its film businesses such as 20th Century Fox and BSkyB in the UK.
News Corp. chiefly famed for its Scottish descended, Aussie tyrant CEO Rupert Murdoch who has since achieved a great deal of fame for blowing millions in China. He is also famous for trying to straighten his layabout son out though the family business. Think Andy Garcia in Godfather Part 3 rather than good old Al' in Godfather Part 1.
History[edit | edit source]
News Corp was founded as an umbrella company to shore up the dire situation with the various poor performing companies Murdoch had foolishly bought whilst spending Mummy’s and Daddy’s substantial fortune from Aussie newspapers. These investments by Murdoch tended to involve gambling or communist satellites. [1] Since then News Corp. is highly respected in the Media industries. [2]
Early on Murdoch instilled values of the right hoping to win over the various hardliners in the west. The company has and continues to be a weaker performer in large parts of the Globe despite the spread of News Corp. products though beat up Soviet satellites.
The big bonus of News Corporation's existence is that it allows for Murdoch to own a ridiculous amount of firms, companies and assets whilst enjoying the bare minimum questioning from governments or the pesky board of directors. [3] This has proved a mixed affair however as despite the blue chip boom being over, News corp has in no way made headway in the challenging realms of IT and the digital revolution and competitors have laughed at the tycoon whose ignorance of the digital age has put the infamous company on the back foot in the growing technology market. But he did by MySpace though. (Pity everyone else uses Facebook)
Assets[edit | edit source]
News Corporations holdings are numerous, spanning form well known household brands like Sky and publishing giant, Harper Collins to the lows of Indian gambling websites. News Corporation also has a wide range of poor selling broadsheets and tabloids like the high quality Times and the Wall Street journal; or crazed right wing frothing at the mouth tabloids. Murdoch has aways spoke for his companies, and he sent his son to spek recntyly on News Corporations output,
| “ | I'm proud of News Corps. output, and despite various questionable political sympathies we continue to push forward around the Globe to spread our message of hope and freedom on our terms and not the terms of despotic socialists. Many have criticised our news output, but I'm confidant that a very strong have been approved by the right wing Republican Party, The Tories and the Communist dictatorship the Peoples Republic of China. Their dedication to human rights and political acumen leave no doubt as to their veracity and dedication to 'human rights'. I do believe our output reflects this | ” |
News Cop owns a variety of products, notably The Simpsons and er... well News Cop also owns Fox, which er... makes The Simpsons, American Idol and Paradise Lost. 20th Century Fox also makes films like Titanic and Jean Claude Van Damme films. Its these high profile Infotainament and reconstituted American programs that have made News corp great in Television, both cable and satilite//
The company is also responsible for a number of newspapers and publications which Murdoch censors ruthlessly to conform with liberal views and whatever goverment he's backing. His publishing outfits have been successful, but the Germans invented printing, and they still laugh at his comparatively puny efforts.
News Corp. also owns many satellites which he attempts to blanket the Globe with his trashy media products and formats. These were welcomed in Britain by Thatcher in the 1980s, however anywhere with a decent economy, I.E. outside of the UK and America, finds Murdoch's contributions over the satellite wavelength an annoyance and an insult to a populaces intelligence.
In the past decade the conglomerate asset, Harper Collins, a stooge company published notable books for News Corp, such as Fuck the Dali Lama and other minorities and as well a series of audio tapes entitled Bill O'Reilly's Halloween tales, narrated by Christopher Walken..
USA! USA![edit | edit source]
Murdoch took News Corp. to America to get money out of the Yanks and boost the profile of the company outside of some Nazi Aussie backwater. He tried the same in China only to find that they were not so partial to his money or political meddling, this meant that the Chinese were essentially impervious to the despot Murdoch.
The move to the United States where the gambles made on programing paid off well with American audiences shoring up the rest of the international efforts. Shows that were based n narrow British formats went down well and News Corporations success in the US have ensured the companies influence throughout the globe.
In America, Murdoch took over their under regulated broadcasting firms and began to pump out mindless drivel, much to the please of the inhabitants who after Vietnam and JFK getting his head blown off, have come to expect less. Murdoch even prostituted to the republicans garnering support for his efforts amogst the right, however Murdoch has changed sides in other replaces and enthusiastically proclaims the freedom of the Prole in China.
Controversy[edit | edit source]
The CEO has come under a great deal of fire over the yeas fro being ruthless and generally failing to pander to Left wing sympathies that have dominated political ideologies, and depsite sucess Murdoch reamins a diliked figuire in the media industyr and a emancing fguire of control outside of it.
The heavy US based investment has ensured that the company remains a behemoth of American business - however the company is chiefly propped up by Aussie Newspapers and the only thing that works and the Simpsons which to the uninformed is a pseudo-Propaganda rant in the form of a cartoon inhabited by obnoxious yellow characters.
News Corp. under Murdoch has become synonymous with hard line policies on business and monopoictc bhavir such as trying to but allthe crappy channels that won't make any money or using bully boy tactics in editorial desicions off all the news publications the conglomerate owns.
Current[edit | edit source]
The conglomerate continues to have a great success within the West, as Murdoch is contemplating throwing more of his money at the East. Pity the Chinese only like a one sided money fight. Thankfully Murdoch looked at the matter philosophically and married a chiniese woman during his brief stay in China. She's quite a bit younger than the chicken skined Murdoch and he claims to be "mostly pleased with his dealings in China, pity News Corp. was used as a stooge to develop Chinas media output at our expense".
News Corp boldly bought MySpace, and half the internet. One of his publicists came up with the witty quip; "It’s my world, you just lurk in it" Murdoch wisely said "better change the 'my world' bit to 'MySpace', sounds a little dodgy the other way if you take my meaning".

- ^ Rupert Murdoch has mostly employed his relaitves on the board. None of the Havanrd buisness grads can stand News Corp. or the ignominity of working there.
