The previous post was mine. As a blogger here I can change my posts, but mere commenters can’t!

Hearst is the best fit historically (war-mongering madman) but hardly anyone in Britain today has heard of him. The Bill Gates references are incidental and I would guess thrown in to avoid a libel action. The normal British film spectator would automatically remember the Sun headlines during the Falklands War and think “Murdoch”.

Elliott Carver wasn’t just doing a riff on Murdoch, he was also doing a riff on Robert Maxwell, Bill Gates, and even William Randolph Hearst.
