Rupert Murdoch Scratching Head Over Bad Press
'I'm So Misunderstood!' Moans The Nefarious Evil-Doer

'Rupert Murdoch isn't as bad as you think he is,' explains unbiased party Rupert Murdoch, in a self-promotional confessional to The Guardian (UK).

"The Wall Street Journal is the greatest newspaper in America and one of the greatest in the world," said Mr Murdoch, insisting that he would be hiring - rather than firing - staff. The paper had "tremendous" journalists and a valuable brand. "That's why we put such a premium on it and why I spent the better part of the last three months enduring criticism normally levelled at a genocidal tyrant."

Another explanation for all the new Murdoch hires? The vast number of open positions at WSJ, as a result of the mass exodus. Which was, in turn, facilitated by the sale of Dow Jones.

To a genocidal tyrant.
