Kara Swisher on Rupert Murdoch, 'the Greatest Mogul of All Time'
Posted May 29, 2008 01:12pm EDT by Sarah Lacy in Investing, Internet, Media, NewsmakersKara Swisher and Walt Mossberg had a long day of grilling executives at their All Things Digital Conference. But they saved Rupert Murdoch, their Wall Street Journal overlord, for last.
While his political comments and near-endorsement of Barack Obama made the most headlines, Murdoch addressed a range of topics important to technology and the world in his typical, unapologetic style. For instance, he spoke of expanding the Journal's coverage and, regarding the ongoing Microsoft-Yahoo drama, said, "I'd get on with it."
I caught up with Kara once they got off stage to discuss her newfound admiration for the outspoken mogul.

Interesting that R. Murdoch said Senator Barack Obama would win by a landslide. Did you know that most schools, colleges and universities had "mock elections" and they all said Obama won by 97%!!!!! Interesting that the adults are catching up with the newest educated class of Americans. Wow to Obama!
