Yes he did, really. Well the new editor of Adweek and authorised Rupert Murdoch biographer (‘The man who bought the news’ published in 2008) has never been a man to mince his words and, as you can see from the above, he doesn’t.

Michael Wolff is the high profile and somewhat polarising Vanity Fair columnist and Rupert Murdoch biographer who has been charged by publisher Prometheus Global Media with turning Adweek into a ‘real’ magazine, not just a trade magazine.
