Michael "Mike" Royko (September 19, 1932 – April 29, 1997) was a Chicago newspaper columnist, and the winner of the 1972 Pulitzer Prize for commentary. Over his 30-year career, he wrote over 7,500 daily columns for three newspapers, the Chicago Daily News the Chicago Sun-Times, and the Chicago Tribune (see: ). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Royko .
Michael Royko commenting on Rupert Murdoch in 1984 ( when the Daily News closed, he worked for its allied morning newspaper, the Chicago Sun-Times but in 1984, Rupert Murdoch - for whom Royko said he would never work - bought the Chicago Sun-Times.): “No self-respecting fish would want to be wrapped in a Murdoch paper"… [H]is goal is not quality journalism. His goal is vast power for Rupert Murdoch, political power”. [1].
