Murdoch family, 1987: Lachlan, James, Anna and Rupert. The second season of HBO’s “Succession,” whose fictional media family, the Roys, bears a striking resemblance to the Murdochs, airs this summer. ‘A press dictatorship’To understand how the Murdoch empire works, it is essential to return to its origins. The bigger Murdoch’s empire became, the more power he had to clear away obstacles to further its expansion. Like his father, Lachlan considered the idea of meddling with such an important profit driver a form of madness.

Fiindcă este duminică și afară ninge, este cel mai oportun moment să priviți un film și nu unul oarecare, dar unul bun. Echipa #diez a făcut o selecție a filmelor premiate cu Oscar din anul 2000 încoace. „Gladiatorul” a luat Oscarurile pentru cel mai bun film și actor principal (Russell Crowe), dar „Tigru și dragon” al lui Ang Lee a fost consolat cu premiul pentru cel mai bun film străin. Patru Oscaruri a luat pelicula lui Ron Howard, pentru cel mai bun film, regie, scenariu adaptat și actriță secundară (Jennifer Connelly). Și totuși, Scorsese a pierdut în favoarea lui Eastwood și Oscarul pentru regie, și cel pentru cea mai bună peliculă.

Lucrarea a fost atribuită lui Leonardo da Vinci de mai mulţi experţi britanici, vândută apoi unui oligarh rus, care a decis în cele din urmă să o vândă. Tabloul a fost pus în vânzare în noiembrie 2017 la o licitaţie de artă contemporană, fiind prezentat în catalogul acesteia drept o lucrare în întregime pictată de Leonardo da Vinci. Expertiza ar fi demonstrat, conform aceleiaşi surse, că „Leonardo da Vinci doar a contribuit la acest tablou”. Mohammed bin Salman voia să împrumute acest tablou Muzeului Luvru pentru marea expoziţie dedicată lui Leonardo da Vinci la sfârşitul anului 2019. „La sfârşitul lui septembrie, Macron a tranşat: a decis să nu dea curs cererii lui Mohammed bin Salman”.
