Conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch was so “livid” that one of the newspapers he owns published a piece that described former CNN reporter Oliver Darcy’s newsletter as a “must-read” that he called up the editor-in-chief and “berated” her over it, media startup Breaker reported.
According to Breaker, which was recently launched by former Daily Beast editor-at-large Lachlan Cartwright and New York Times correspondent Ravi Somaiya, Murdoch rang up Wall Street Journal top editor Emma Tucker over media reporter Isabella Simonetti’s recent piece about Darcy’s new Status News site.
