Eva Roque, you fell in love with a documentary proposed by Arte

“Exactly. A three-part documentary, all airing tonight and titled“ Murdoch, The Great Media Manipulator. ”An uncompromising portrayal of press mogul Rupert Murdoch and how his media - press and TV - have influenced the politics of Great Britain and then of the United States. The businessman started in Australia where he comes from. In these almost three hours of film, we discover the family saga with the daughter Elisabeth, the two brothers James and Lachlan, and the three women The series "Succession" that I recommend to you on OCS, inspired by Murdochs, is however well below the betrayals and other intra-family manipulations of which the patriarch is capable.

A man determined to influence British political life.

He is maneuvering, for example, to push Tony Blair to organize a referendum leading to the rejection of the euro.

And it is again he who supports David Cameron or Nigel Farage, two pro-Brexit.

His method: use his newspapers to establish a political position, and denigrate any opposition.

His tabloid

News of the world

breaks free from any rule.

Regularly, the newspaper reveals in front page the sexual escapades of each other.

Privacy doesn't exist, doesn't exist anymore.

Reporters have become experts in wiretapping.

Illegal listening of course!

In 2011, the scandal was revealed by the

Guardian

with the help of the

New York Times

.

Personalities and anonymous then decide to file a complaint against Murdoch.

Starting with Hugh Grant, tracked for 10 years by

News of the world

.

The wiretapping affair ended with the newspaper's closure, leaving 200 employees on the sidelines.

After a short crossing of the desert, it is in the United States that Rupert Murdoch decides to establish his media domination with Fox News.

News channel that allowed the election of Donald Trump!

Documentary incredibly rich in testimonies, twists and turns, extremely well written and staged.

So much so that we sometimes have the impression of watching a series.

But this is the reality.

Of a frightening reality between manipulations, excess of authoritarianism and quasi-mafia system.
