RUPERT MURDOCH - A PORTRAIT OF SATAN
Rupert Murdoch doesn't like the BBC
And sometimes the BBC doesn't seem to like Rupert Murdoch either.
Following the principle that you should know your enemy, the BBC has assiduously recorded the relentless rise of Rupert Murdoch and his assault on the old "decadent" elites of Britain.
And I thought it would be interesting to put up some of the high points.
It is also a good way to examine how far his populist rhetoric is genuine, and how far its is a smokescreen to disguise the interests of another elite.
As a balanced member of the BBC - I leave it to you to decide.
Murdoch first appears in the BBC archive in a short fragment without commentary shot in 1968. It shows him ambling into the City of London on his way to see Sir Humphrey Mynors who was head of the City Takeover Panel
Murdoch was going to ask Sir Humphrey for permission to take over the News of the World. Then he is interviewed afterwards.
Bernie Ecclestone in Formula 1 bribe probe
Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has been named by prosecutors in Germany as allegedly bribing a former banker during the sale of the sport in 2006.
Gerhard Gribkowsky, in charge of the sale of BayernLB's stake in F1, stands accused of taking a $44m (£27m) bribe.
In return, prosecutors allege, Mr Ecclestone received $41.4m in commissions from the bank, as well as a large payment to a family trust.
Mr Ecclestone said he expects to be cleared of any wrongdoing.
A court will now decide whether Mr Gribkowsky will stand trial on the charges.
The allegations revolve around the sale of BayernLB's stake in Formula 1 to private equity group CVC Capital Partners, which still owns the commercial rights to the sport.
CVC said it had no knowledge of any alleged payments to Mr Gribkowsky.
The firm bought majority control of F1 from Bernie Ecclestone's family trusts and a group of investment banks.
Mr Ecclestone remains F1's chief executive and retains a large shareholding in the sport.
