James Murdoch is studiously modern , and so full of MBA Jargon and language, although he does not have an MBA or, for that matter, even a college degree. But do remember he was since long being considered as the 'heir apparent' to Rupert Murdoch's empire. 

And those who considered him the unlikely 'heir apparent' also talked of him as the family's black sheep. But no matter which school of thought you come from or toed, to his face all and everybody embraced him as "the real deal !! But before he could be crowned , the 'HACKING SCANDAL' broke through. SKY caved in ! Or better still it fell ! And his power base disintegrated. 

These humiliations and disasters are only the beginning of long slide into obscurity !! 

Rupert is a man of newspapers and was always considered one. James is a man of new media. At first it was running a hip hop label - something it is almost impossible to imagine, other than in hilariously comic terms -  that he may have had a conversation with his father about and then the internet. 

But it is a true fact that his father did buy his label ! Haha ! 

In fact, it was James who led the company down its rabbit hole of early failed internet investments. 

Frankly , Rupert is political. James is aPolitical. 

At the heart of the hacking scandal is James support of David Cameron, who he saw as a kind of post - ideological figure - exactly the kind of politician his father would have little interest in and quite a but of contempt for. 

Hence in an attempt to count Rupert's favour, there was the deal brokered by James Lieutenant by REBEKAH BROOKS.

Don't miss tomorrow's post. Good night and God bless!
