Rupert Murdoch - from journalist Mike Royko - a prescient and fabulous quotation.
When the Chicago Daily News closed, Mike Royko ( a fabulous journalist jmp) worked for its allied morning newspaper, the Chicago Sun-Times.
In 1984, Rupert Murdoch, for whom Royko said he would never work, bought the Sun-Times. Royko commented that:
"no self-respecting fish would want to be wrapped in a
Murdoch paper".
And with that Royko resigned from the Sun-Times.
I suggest that Mike Royko had more integrity in his little finger than former and current British Premiers ( Blair [Labour] and Cameron [Conservative] ) have in their well fed paunches.
