Davos: Murdoch’s views on UN and Kyoto Protocol
Posted by: Ben Hirschler
Age hasn't mellowed him. At 76 years old, News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch is the elder statesman of the corporate world at this year's Davos. But his views remain as strident as ever. Speaking at a session entitled "Rebuilding Brand America" he promptly lambasted two holy cows - the United Nations and the Kyoto Protocol.
"Everyone knows it is a corrupt, ridiculous, dysfunctional place," he said on the UN. "We know that the Kyoto treaty doesn't work and is impractical. Some want America to set an example and sign it and obey it. Now, what do you want to do - put everybody out of work in America while China and Russia and India don't sign it?"
