For the biggest media mogul in the world it seems that Rupert Murdoch doesn't read, listen or view any of his media enterprises [go here]:
"Media mogul Rupert Murdoch said on Monday he had no regrets about supporting the US-led invasion of Iraq and argued that the US death toll in the conflict was "minute" from a historical perspective.
The conservative News Corp chief spoke on the eve of US elections where President George W Bush's Republican Party was expected to lose seats in part due to a backlash over the war.
"The death toll, certainly of Americans there, by the terms of any previous war are quite minute," Murdoch told reporters at a conference in Tokyo.
"Of course no one likes any death toll, but the war now, at the moment, it's certainly trying to prevent a civil war and to prevent Iraqis killing each other."
One wonders how the families of those killed in Iraq - Americans or Iraqis - consider Rupert's comment that their loved one was a mere "minute" loss in the Iraq war. And there isn't rampant killing underway in Iraq? - which everyone regards as civil war!
