The polite way to describe the legacy of a man like Rupert Murdoch is to leave aside whether his accomplishments were good or bad and simply focus on how big they were.
Maybe he had “a terrible force,” as Kendall put it, but “he built, and he acted.
… He made life happen.”But the polite way is exactly the wrong way to assess Mr. Murdoch, who on Thursday announced his retirement from the boards of Fox and News Corporation.
Mr. Murdoch achieved nothing the polite way.
Rupert Murdoch’s empire used passion and grievance as fuel and turned it into money and power.
