I was working for the Sunday Times when Murdoch bought it, and by and large he improved it. It was smug and complacent, with islands of brilliant reporting.
He also killed the printers' union, which was a massive favour he did to all British publishers. I would welcome him in a jiffy to shake up the pathetic French press.
And the equivalent of the lad/ette culture, alas, exists in countries with no Murdoch press.
