About this listen

This special bonus episodes tries to get at some of the questions the series leaves unanswered like: Where does Murdoch’s insatiable business drive come from? How can we separate his admirable qualities from his more ruthless pursuit of power? And what was it like for David Dimbleby to do a podcast?

Playwright James Graham, writer of Ink, joins David Dimbleby in a live panel discussion from The Barbican in London celebrating the launch of The Sun King.

Hosted by the Guardian journalist Miranda Sawyer they discuss Murdoch’s motivations, his media strategy and the rise of fake news and disinformation.

Very interesting story , which shows how small ideas grow and over time displace the social norms. Murdock was dismissed by the established press in the UK and he grew to overtake them. Fox was underestimated in the USA and they have changed ( Changed Utterly) the political landscape. The world is a different place less secure, even in the wealthiest countries the angry mob has been unleashed, USA - Trump, UK - Brexit, Europe - EU , Nato- Russia, Germany- Gas pipeline. Fake News is contagious.

Dimbleby at his professional best, Great Story.
