U.S. historian compares Murdoch with Hitler

U.S. historian Eric Zuesse has launched a blistering attack on Rupert Murdoch for using his once highly respected Wall Street Journal as a propaganda sheet. Former News Ltd executive Rodney E. Lever reports.

American author and historian Eric Zuesse has launched a blistering attack on international newspaper proprietor Rupert Murdoch for using his once highly respected Wall Street Journal as a propaganda sheet to promote the US Republican Party.

Zuesse claims there are rational comparisons between Murdoch and the World War II German dictator Adolf Hitler, saying the two “would have got on famously,” except for a few personal differences:

“Murdoch is more modern and he’s no anti-Semite.”
