FALL OF THE HOUSE OF MURDOCH


en Paperback – 8 aug 2012
The Fall of the House of Murdoch. Rupert Murdoch ruined my life. I'm not a famous soap star, celebrity, politician, rival company or former employee, so he didn't do it deliberately. I'm a dramatist, so 'Bad Press' will have a dramatic structure, framed by those tumultuous 20 days in July when the News of the World collapsed, and the Murdochs were hauled before Parliament, and the most powerful man in my lifetime had to meet the people's elected representatives.

Recenzii

"Lucid, forceful. A roaring great read. I am most impressed by the way he grasps the central truth of the incapacity of our institutions to cope with Murdoch. The Fall of the House of Murdoch is an impressive accomplishment for its narrative energy, wit and intellectual range." Sir Harold Evans, former editor of the Sunday Times "Political thrillers don't come much better than this' Chris Bryant MP "An impressive treatise on how media, money and power in the past thirty years became so locked into mutually supporting agendas that they failed to interrogate each other." Joy Lo Dico, London Evening Standard
