News Corp CEO: claims of anti-Labor bias are ‘baseless’
Julian Clake
The newly appointed CEO of News Corp Australia Julian Clarke has rejected suggestions that the publisher is running a campaign against the Labor government.
Speaking to Mumbrella after a panel discussion of newspaper CEOs at the industry’s Future Forum event in Sydney, Clarke would not discuss the controversy over News Corp’s election coverage in detail, but described accusations by Labor PM Kevin Rudd as “baseless”.
“We know why they are doing it and it is baseless”, Clarke told Mumbrella.
BS.
Funny man. Guess we should believe him. Probably another leftist conspiracy thing when you think about it, all these ‘baseless’ claims.
BS all round. No question. But you have to like Clarke’s angle on cost cutting.
Hywood is patently not focused on sales or storytelling. His sales teams are totally confused with hardly any relationship to inventory. They have gone from high value to big box warehouse sales. As for storytelling, you only have to look at the mish-mash metro arrangements, with all sorts of confusion and double or triple messaging. It’s a joke and the whole mess is purely a functiuon of mindless cuts.
Bahahahahahahaha! Bahahahahahahaha! Can’t…..stop……laughing……Julian Clarke…….is…….delusional……..bahahahahahahaha!
He’s having a laugh………………………….
Wow. Just wow. If Julian Clarke wants to restore any fragment of reputation News Corp has left he needs to address the current editor of the Tele, Paul Whittaker. It is mostly his work that has generated such bad publicity for the company regarding bias etc in recent times. We know all the News Corp tabs have a certain style but nothing has been as rabid and selective as the Tele. It doesn’t suit Australia and it’s backfiring.
Enjoying the left’s deranged Murodch obsession. Great fun.
That is laughable. He sure showed us what he thinks of us.
What ‘effing’ planet does this guy come from – oh yeah: Planet Murdoch.
Does he think we’re that stupid – oh yeah: he does!
Yeah, and neither are Jones and Hadley
Did Greg Hywood really say that? He is cutting deep, deep. They ruin a once magnificent business, now valued at 59c.
Lots of good decent people still doing their best, despairing at management. Even Gina looking good.
What a foolish statement; this man obviously does not read The Daily Telegraph.
Fair enough. Show me the photoshopped front cover featuring a liberal politician.
You can’t put the Prime Minister in a Nazi uniform and then suggest you’re not biased.
Right on, Bill C! You can still see Hogan’s Heroes on Foxtel and the sight of those actors in Nazi uniforms insults all of us. How typically vile of News Ltd to capitalise on Hogan’s Heroes’ excess and take it even further.
Responsible people who care about the future and bicycles (and will therefore be voting Labor) must join as one to demand that Hogan’s Heroes be taken off air before News Ltd gets any more evil, sinister ideas to manipulate stupid people who do not wear black.
It shocks me that 53% of the population, according to the latest polls, could be that stupid.
Clearly they should not be entitled to vote.
