Resumen del Editor
If Rupert Murdoch isn't making headlines, he's busy buying the media outlets that generate the headlines. His News Corp. holdings - from the New York Post, Fox News, and most recently The Wall Street Journal, to name just a few - are vast, and his power is unrivaled. So what makes a man like this tick? Michael Wolff gives us the definitive answer in The Man Who Owns the News.
With unprecedented access to Rupert Murdoch himself, and his associates and family, Wolff chronicles the astonishing growth of Murdoch's $70 billion media kingdom. In intimate detail, he probes the Murdoch family dynasty, from the battles that have threatened to destroy it to the reconciliations that seem to only make it stronger. Drawing upon hundreds of hours of interviews, he offers accounts of the Dow Jones takeover as well as plays for Yahoo! and Newsday as they've never been revealed before.
Written in the irresistible stye that only an award-winning columnist for Vanity Fair can deliver, The Man Who Owns the News offers an exclusive glimpse into a man who wields extraordinary power and influence in the media on a worldwide scale - and whose family is being groomed to carry his legacy into the future.

Historia
Sumner Murray Redstone, once feared as the “mad genius” of media who would dump his CEOs for mere wobbles in his companies’ stock price, had built one of the world’s greatest media empires through a series of audacious takeovers constructed to ensure that he always maintained control. Today he controls 80 percent of the voting shares of both Viacom and CBS, meaning that on a whim he could replace the entire boards of two public companies with a combined value of $40 billion.

How did InBev, a Belgian company controlled by Brazilians, take over one of America's most beloved brands after barely a whimper of a fight? With timing - and some unexpected help from powerful members of the Busch dynasty, the very family that had run the company for more than a century. From the very heart of America's heartland to the European continent to Brazil, Dethroning the King is the ultimate corporate caper and a fascinating case study that's both wide-reaching and profound.

He has run the toughest city in America with an independence and show of ego that first brought him great success and eventually threatened it. Yet while Bloomberg is internationally known and admired, few people know the man behind the carefully crafted public persona.

In 2009, at the peak of the financial crisis, AIG - the American insurance behemoth - was sinking fast. It was the peg upon which the nation hung its ire and resentment during the financial crisis: the pinnacle of Wall Street arrogance and greed. When Bob Benmosche climbed aboard as CEO, it was widely assumed that he would go down with his ship. In mere months, he turned things around, pulling AIG from the brink of financial collapse and restoring its profitability.

They were a band of outsiders unable to get jobs with New York's gilded financial establishment. They would go on to corner the world's multitrillion-dollar oil market, reaping unimaginable riches while bringing the economy to its knees. Meet the self-anointed kings of the New York Mercantile Exchange. In some ways, they are everything you would expect them to be: a secretive, members-only club of men and women who live lavish lifestyles; cavort with politicians, strippers, and celebrities; and blissfully jacked up oil prices to nearly $150 a barrel while profiting off the misery of the working class.

It was the 1960s - a time of economic boom and social strife. Young women poured into the workplace, but the “Help Wanted” ads were segregated by gender and the “Mad Men” office culture was rife with sexual stereotyping and discrimination. Lynn Povich was one of the lucky ones, landing a job at Newsweek, renowned for its cutting-edge coverage of civil rights and the “Swinging Sixties.” Nora Ephron, Jane Bryant Quinn, Ellen Goodman, and Susan Brownmiller all started there as well. It was a top-notch job - for a girl - at an exciting place. But it was a dead end.

But within months Woodford had gained the confidence of most of his colleagues and shareholders.

In May 1987, Colorado Senator Gary Hart seemed a lock for the party’s presidential nomination and led George H. W. Bush by double digits in the polls. Then, in one tumultuous week, rumors of marital infidelity and a newspaper’s stakeout of Hart’s home resulted in a media frenzy the likes of which had never been seen. Through the spellbindingly reported story of the senator’s fall from grace, Matt Bai, Yahoo News columnist and former chief political correspondent for The New York Times Magazine, reveals the Hart affair to be far more than one man’s tragedy.

Starting as a college dropout with no family money, he created a publishing empire, founded Maxim magazine, made himself one of the richest people in the UK, and had a blast in the process. How to Get Rich is different from any other book on the subject because Dennis isn't selling snake oil, investment tips, or motivational claptrap. He merely wants to help people embrace entrepreneurship, and to share lessons he learned the hard way.

Titan is the first full-length biography based on unrestricted access to Rockefeller’s exceptionally rich trove of papers. A landmark publication full of startling revelations, the book indelibly alters our image of this most enigmatic capitalist. Born the son of a flamboyant, bigamous snake-oil salesman and a pious, straitlaced mother, Rockefeller rose from rustic origins to become the world’s richest man by creating America’s most powerful and feared monopoly, Standard Oil. Branded "the Octopus" by legions of muckrakers, the trust refined and marketed nearly 90 percent of the oil produced in America.

The Book Behind Succession
Jesse Armstrong wrote his screenplay, The Murdoch, shortly after this book was as published. Succession is a revised and improved version of The Murdochs.
Reading—err listening to—this book reminded me, in a scene by scene manner, of the joy of Succession. If you loved Succession, you will love this book.
The only point of sadness is there is no “Boar on the Floor” scene.

Author Is Way Too Hallucinatory
I can count the books I was not able to finish on one hand. This is one of them. Every writer manages to enter their own attitudes, fantasies, guesses, and evaluations to some degree. But this writer goes so far as to describe what Murdoch is thinking, feeling, and guessing. It practically reads like a novel. The description of Hollywood culture and social intercourse was so blatantly incorrect I began to wonder if I should believe anything else I had read up to that point. A few hours later I just had to put it down. It became painful to listen to the slander, slurs, armchair psychiatric evaluations and hallucinatory guesses at Murdoch's feelings, motives, goals, purposes, desires, and attitudes. I can cautiously state the book was written from a position of deep resentment towards Murdoch, and a sadistic desire to degrade and humiliate him.

Chaotic storyline - great take out
The book is revolving around one moment - Buying the WSJ and is connecting Murdoch’s whole life to that single event. Chaotic to follow but a great insight in the mind of one of the most powerful people on the planet.

Worst Audio Book I've Ordered
This is the worse book I've heard. From the first sentence, it's is a nonstop negative portrayal of Mr. Murdoch, News Corp., WSJ, etc. It's relentless. Even if you dislike the man and company, it would be hard to listen to it without thinking that it seems more like a schoolyard rant than any serious discussion. Literally every sentence drips with negativity.

Worst Written Biography Ever
Repetitive anecdotes (crappy editing), lacking any source attribution in the text (makes events seem like heresay) and unceasing bullshittery over and above what Wolff has accomplished since. An unfinishable corpse of a book.

Grandiose and tedious
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Its is probably for people who just want to hear a long, tedious rambling about how evil Murdoch is.
Has The Man Who Owns the News turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, I'll still try to listen/read to some.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Yes, the narration was OK.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Man Who Owns the News?
Most of it is not really scenes, just thoughts and assertions by the author, without any seeming knowledge. I'd leave only the story itself, which would last less than one hour.

Impossible to follow
Non-chronological, meandering, and tedious. Read Ted Turner's instead, or Gerstner's, or Weill's. No insight into Murdoch's business style, approach, views. No real behind the scenes intrigue. Just a hatchet job on the man; none of his perspective. A real disappointment. I wish I had listened to the abridged version, though I see even it is over 6 hours long. Two would have probably been about right.
