Besides over 300 newspapers, movie studios, and cable channels he closed a
deal with China.

A COMPLETELY misleading sentence.

Does he own 290 newspapers and 10 cable channels?

Or is it 120 newspapers, and 180 studios and cable TV channels?
How many of those are in the U.S., vs Australia and other places?

EITHER way, nothing CLOSE to his controlling 90% of ALL media, 
which WAS your initial claim (that I have NOT forgotten!)

And you have a habit of doing this, so I'm sure it's NOT just 
an accident, but an intent to mislead.

And Wikipedia says this about Rupert...

:He is one of the few chief executives of any multinational media 
:corporation who (through a family company) have a controlling 
:ownership share in the companies they run, but the family no longer 
: has a majority stake.

Murdoch owns exactly ONE newspaper in the US.  
AND one cable news service, Fox News.

He has NO interests in CNN, CBS, NBC, or ABC.

He SOLD the Dodgers several years ago, he ALSO sold a large interest 
in several of the (NON-news) cable TV channels he owns.

Here's a list of his TV interests..
