Integrity can still be found

From this morning's WSJ:

James Murdoch, the younger son of Rupert Murdoch, has resigned from News NWS -1.24% Corp’s board of directors, a move that marks his full departure from the family’s businesses.

“My resignation is due to disagreements over certain editorial content published by the company’s news outlets and certain other strategic decisions,” Mr. Murdoch said in his resignation letter, which was published as part of a company filing released Friday.

Mr. Murdoch had once been widely viewed as the top contender to one day run the family businesses, but in recent years he has been disengaging from his roles at the companies. Last year, he left as chief executive of 21st Century Fox after substantial parts of the company’s entertainment unit were sold to Walt Disney Co.

The News Corp board seat was the last formal role he held at companies controlled by his family.

A spokesman for Mr. Murdoch said he had no additional comment beyond his letter.

Refreshing :hatoff:

Don’t let the door hit you in the ass, sonny boy!
He and his lefty wife are eco-nuts and do not like Fox News reporting anything contrary to climate hysteria.

I may not agree with his positions, but I respect that he was willing to not chase the almighty buck, ir at least save eniugh to step away from his bread and butter.

You would have to understand addiction from the standpoint of one who has been there, and having survived, keeps it in memory as a cautionary warning...You said Murdoch has no need for money...But money, once attained in larger amounts, becomes power over others and as such, is an aphrodisiac and instantly addictive for those who have become blinded by its glow...The power money wields over those who have it also enslaves them to the want for more of it, strictly for the sake of its possession...When it becomes want, and ultimately lust, need has no meaning or understanding...:2cents:...Ben
