A Murdoch remembers the Board


It is a pleasure to hear a Murdoch refer to the board and to the board's control over their position.

James Murdoch was quoted as saying "My appointment is at the discretion of the board . . . but it is my hope and intention to be here for the long term."

Not seen very often! Congratulations Mr. Murdoch.
