Murdoch in an open interview with WMA: "I should have been a dictator first. Working my way up from nothing... what was I thinking?".

Emperor's new news. -Nobody messes with Putin or Berlusconi, says the media mogul. It`s not fair. Except for all the headline money I make on this phone hacking scandal. I probably cash inn more than I ever could on BskyB. And besides, I`m sick of everybody else taking the limelight. I want some headlines too. Have you meet my wife?

-When this scandal is over we`re releasing a sex tape on the web. That ought to get sales up. We`ll do the talk show tour, maybe an advertising campaign for viagra. We`ll see. I own the news. I can do whatever I want!!!
