The last tycoon to publish and be damned

I am probably one of the few people in the world who feel sorry for Rupert Murdoch, the infamous news proprietor, though I suspect the plate of shaving cream shoved in his face will buy him more sympathy votes.

The last tycoon's empire is unraveling faster than the spread of malicious gossip and I don't really need to go into the details because, surely, you have been following the plot as closely as I have.

However, in the interest of entertainment and to illustrate the schadenfreude other news organizations are clearly enjoying, I will give a nod to some of the better headlines: "Voldemort was here" (Chicago Sun-Times); "Murdoch most foul" (Huffington Post); "From Tamburlaine to King Lear in a fortnight" (The Guardian).
