What I learned from reading through hundreds of pages of evidence from the Fox-Dominion case:
- Rupert Murdoch got very bored in "bloody England" during lockdown
- He corrects typos in newspaper editorials
- His favourite newspapers are the WSJ, New York Post and the Times.
Rupert Murdoch has been spared court. But the legal evidence offered extraordinary insights into his influence.
