Elisabeth Murdoch Takes Aim at News Corp.
In the end she pulled no punches.
As Rupert Murdoch’s daughter, Elisabeth Murdoch, got on stage at a big media shindig in Edinburgh today, many wondered whether she would deny the line attributed to her from last summer, at the height of the phone hacking scandal that engulfed the Murdoch family, namely that “James and Rebekah (Brooks) fucked the company.”
Today’s MacTaggart lecture at the Edinburgh Film and Television festival provided a clear cut answer. Three years after her brother James laid down his vision on the same platform – Elisabeth was at pains to demolish everything he stood for.
