George Thinks Rupert Murdoch is Devil!
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch doesn’t need to wonder what singer George Michael thinks about him, especially after the latter labelled him “the devil”.
The 43-year old former WHAM! singer blasted the media baron on British TV show ‘George Michael – I’m Your Man: A South Bank Special’ on Oct 31, and insisted that he had been right in his 20-year old belief that Murdoch was really the devil incarnate, and that it was his connection with the dark forces that led to him controlling a large percentage of the world’s media.
“I think Murdoch is the devil and has been for 20 years. The only dignity is in autonomy. I was so right about Murdoch. Twenty years later we have a media dictator,” Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.
Michael also believes that it is Murdoch’s influence that has seen a slump in his musical success.
The British singer’s success on the music charts began to take a dip after his controversial song ‘Shoot the Dog’ in 2002, which some perceived as anti-US President George W Bush.
“Before 2002, I had an unflinching hold on the charts. Everything I did was a radio hit. Since Shoot The Dog, I have not had a surehold hit,” he added.
