Rupert Murdoch Takes Over as NYP Publisher
Just days after our media lust-object Lachlan Murdoch resigned as publisher of the Post and, in turn, from his father Rupert's News Corp. media behemoth, Rupert himself has announced that he will take over as publisher of the Post. Official mouthpiece Howard Rubenstein says the move shows advertisers Murdoch's faith and commitment to the paper, although for Post staffers who have had to deal with Murdoch's constant tips ("I've told you dozens of times: You must use a derogatory adjective when referring to Hillary Clinton!"), Murdoch's new position really isn't much of a procedural or editorial change. The only actual change, we imagine, is yet to come:
[Rubenstein] said Mr. Murdoch wanted to hold onto the paper because "he thinks before too long it will make some money."
Yep. Any day now.
