Does Rupert Murdoch ‘like the nightlife’?
Dr Mumbo loves a good door stop interview and this one involving ABC Darwin reporter Andrew Thompson and media mogul Rupert Murdoch is gold.
The reporter begins the interview asking about the weather before, eventually, moving on to more serious topics such as the economy.
But it’s the unusual ‘nightlife’ exchange in between the two that really caught Dr Mumbo’s attention.
Thompson, for reasons so far unknown, asks the 82-year-old Murdoch whether or not he will be heading out “to see the nightlight” in Darwin.
That is absolutely the funniest unintentionally funny media interview I have ever seen. I could hug this journo. What a dork! That’s awesome.
I know he is an evil genius, but I have to say, Murdoch comes across as a very down to earth reasonable billionaire.
Must be his Australian heritage
what happened to the video? ABC complaint over copyright?

This guy was so clearly out of his depth – the interview should have been titled ‘Look mum! I’m talking to a mogul!’
It was so cringeworthy it should be played to all first year university students… here’s how NOT to conduct an interview with the world’s most powerful media mogul! No wonder the journo couldn’t get a job in his home state….
