1968- RUPERT MURDOCH INVADED ENGLAND. Never mind the Vikings or William the Conquerer, on this day the little Australian landed at Heathrow to begin a takeover war for his first English newspaper, the News of the World. Until now the Fleet Street press barons were a closed club of rich old gentlemen who resisted the encroachments of an Australian upstart. Murdoch used Sir Robert Caro as his cover to get in and defeat a hostile takeover bid from Robert Maxwell. He then demoted Caro out of his leadership of the paper. Murdoch journalism specialized in sensationalism and tawdry titulation. For example the World in autumn 1987 had a nude 15 year old girl photographed from the back for days. She had a countdown to her 16th birthday when she turn around and could legally be photographed in the nude. When the Hitler Diaries were confirmed to be a fraud and historian Sir Basil Liddel Hart protested, Murdoch published them in the London Times anyway" F**k him, I’m in the entertainment business." Twenty tears later Murdoch became a U.S. citizen so he could build the Fox television networks.
