MURDOCH'S SEASON: #1 TV, MOVIE, CABLE NEWS, PAPER
Say what you will... NEWSCORP Lord Rupert Murdoch can now claim the top spots in the media industry.
The 20th Century Fox, Murdoch, 74, has become 21st Century Daddy.
On Wednesday, the TV season ends with an IDOL bang and FOX finishing #1 -- for the first time -- in the ad demo, 18-49, and #1 in teens.
At the box-office, Murdoch takes number one by distributing REVENGE OF THE SITH.
In the heated cable news race, FOXNEWS [despite faulty Internet rumors] continues to dominate all dayparts, all demos, all ratings, and has all but caught CNN in ad revenues.
Murdoch's SUN newspaper in London continues to dazzle and ignite the world with shock photos and splashes. [Saddam's underwear and Prince Harry's swastika.]
The man from Oz has captured, claimed and conquered the popular culture.
Murdoch's Season.
