As I read "a sophisticated transnational political operation" I was nearly expecting you to say "run by Jews." 3.

After I posted the above, I was reading The GuardianтАЩs Long Reads. Their feature from the archive is a really stunning story from 2015 about the secret meeting between Thatcher and Murdoch in the early 80s, which smoothed the way for his purchase of TheTimes, apparently in exchange for political support for the Thatcher government. When the story of this time is told, Rupert Murdoch will be one of the most important people in the long attack on democracy around the English-speaking world.
