Rumple-chops unchecked

February 25th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

Rupert Murdoch’s highest ranking underling is off. Peter Chernin, LA-based President and Chief Operating Officer of News Corp apparently knows when he’s not wanted, is quitting while he’s ahead and won’t be staying on when his current contract  expires in April – leaving the field open for a little internecine scrapping among the young Ruperts, while old Rumple-chops himself steps in to fill the gap temporarily, and pursue his own current hare, the New York Times.

And this isn’t just a matter of gossip. News Corp becomes increasingly dominant among the world’s news/influence peddlers every day. Even people who read the Sun and the NY Post have a vote.
