Jack Shafer recalls how
Rupert Murdoch had New York Post staffers help his lawyers dig up information about former Warner CEO
Steven Ross in the 1980s. "That Murdoch had no compunctions about assigning his reporters the work of private investigators is no aberration," writes Shafer. "As the Murdoch rap sheet published recently by the Wall Street Journal on Page One shows, the rotten old bastard loves to leverage his editorial assets in service of his businesses."
