As far as I'm aware it was The Sun which Murdoch acquired in England and not the Mirror as stated in this piece.

"In November 2006, Murdoch brought 17.9 percent of British broadcaster, ITV. This was a ruthless move to effectively block BSKYB's rival NTL from merging with ITV."

Rupert Murdoch served on the board of Philip Morris Companies, Inc. from 1989 to 2001, and was on the Executive Committee for much of that time. This was before the splitting of the company into Altria and Philip Morris International. This information is taken from the Philip Morris Companies, Inc. stockholders booklet for 2001, dated March 9, 2001, page 5, when Geoffrey C. Bible was the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Floxacin|Floxacin]] ([[User talk:Floxacin|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Floxacin|contribs]])</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> 13:06, 16 July 2011 (UTC) |

Isn't he English aswell?
Doesn't have have English nationality? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.28.63.41 (talk) 00:27, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
- Not at all. Where did you get that idea from? He was born an Australian, and is now an American. That's enough. He may have owned The Times, but that in itself doesn't make one English. -- Jack of Oz [Talk] 03:05, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
