In a separate article for this website Professor Antony
Glees wrote: "Sky News itself is having a field day with
the eurozone crisis. Of course, Murdoch never liked the
euro or the EU for that matter." Murdoch's anti-EU stance
could quite possibly stem from the desire to avoid
regulation of his media empire, from Brussels. We know for
sure that he had plans for even greater penetration and
influence in the UK media market. I mean, whether you are
a Europhile or a Eurosceptic, do we really believe that
Murdoch is interested only in defending British institutions
like the pound rather than expanding News Corporation's
portfolio in mainland Europe and beyond?
