Rupert Murdoch, a man to watch out for

Over the weekend I was reading the October 2008 issue of Vanity Fair and I really enjoyed an article by Michael Wolff about Rupert Murdoch, the owner of the Wall Street Journal. First of all, the journalist was very persistent in his interviews with Murdoch, and even though he went in with preconceived notions about Murdoch, he still delivered. I was also intrigued by their discussions on newspapers and how much political controversy really surrounds every aspect of Murdoch's decisions. He already is one of the most powerful people in the media, owning one of the most famous papers in the world, and he doesn't plan to stop anytime soon. They continued to discuss the impact he would have on acquiring other newspapers and outlets, and properly ended the story stating, "It continues to all depend on him." Is it possible that one man could truly have the power to control and potentially change the media as we know it?
