Bunker USA: Bloody Murdoch – Is the real-life Logan Roy unstoppable?

Phone hacking, false claims of election hacking and a potential high profile libel case with a maligned BBC newsreader. Those are just a few of the scandals facing Rupert Murdoch’s media empire in the last few years. Despite this, the 92-year-old media mogul’s vice-like grip on the media landscape has remained as powerful as ever. Gavin Esler is joined in The Bunker by journalist William D Cohan, to find out how Murdoch has maintained his position of influence and power. “There's a lot of power entrusted with Murdoch, and there's no accountability for his behaviour” “If I were him, I would be deeply disturbed by what my television network had created.” "Publishers have no appetite, or budget, for tough investigative reporting." www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Gavin Esler.
