We noticed on Question Time last night that some of the panel thought it was ironic that Richard Branson is maintaining that Rupert Murdoch has too much influence. The inference being, that Sir Richard too is bent on dominating UK business with his Virgin empire. It’s a view that is quite wrong in our opinion and to compare Rupert Murdoch’s media empire which controls the UK’s top tabloid, top quality daily and top Sunday Broadsheet, not to mention overwhelming influence over BskyB, with Sir Richard’s hotchpotch and disparate empire of Virgin companies is quite absurd.
