On Wednesday's Up to Date, we talk with NPR media reporter David Folkenflik about his new book on the man and his vast news domain. We talk about Murdoch’s control of American outlets such as Fox News and The Wall Street Journal and look at the ongoing legal trials of his hand-picked News of the World editors in the United Kingdom.
