Although we have established that Rupert is most likely a robber baron, there are two things that from a certain angle one could see the positive side of what he has done. One positive thing he has done is that he has bought many dying news companies. Although not all the news sources he bought went to a good cause, many did. They made him money and re-laid lots of information to people all over the world! Some of the controversial changes in the media outlets still got people reading. This kept many people in the loop of national events. The other slightly good thing he did was getting people aware. The phone scandal was a pretty bad event that caused a lot of issues, but it got people aware of the issues surrounding phones. Just about everyone owns some form of technology, and this event showed people that our phones aren't as safe as they seem. Hopefully, after this event, people began to defend their phone better from viruses and hackers. To conclude, Murdock did do a few things that helped the overall community one way or another.
