Now that Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. has dropped its bid to buy BSkyB (here's one of a thousand stories on that subject), let's travel to
Ireland for an analysis from Boston Globe writer Kevin Cullen on how Murdoch's U.K. woes may spread to the U.S. "like a contagion and ruin his empire."
This post is worth a look
if only for Cullen's personal memories of his Brit editors at the Boston Herald 30 years ago, plus a tidy history of Rupert in the U.S. from The New York Post to Fox News and The
Wall Street Journal, and a bit on the tax-evasion story now gaining traction.
