This article describes the mistakes made by the Prime Minister during the uproar around the revelations about the Murdoch empire in the UK. He has been forced to alter positions of support that he had expressed on several issues. His support for Murdoch was well earned. The Murdoch press strongly supported Cameron's rise to power. In fact, Murdoch was the second person to visit Cameron at 10 Downing Street after he took office.
Murdoch's media empire plays a similar role in the US. He owns the Fox network, which is like a wing of the Republican Party, and he recently acquired the prestigious Wall Street Journal. Some wonder whether Murdoch works for the party or whether it works for him. There is a similar relationship between Murdoch's press and the Conservative Party in Australia. He is best described as this generation's Citizen Kane.
