In a separate article for this website Professor Antony
  Glees wrote: "Sky News itself is having a field day with
  the eurozone crisis. Of course, Murdoch never liked the
  euro or the EU for that matter." Murdoch's anti-EU stance
  could quite possibly stem from the desire to avoid
  regulation of his media empire, from Brussels. We know for
  sure that he had plans for even greater penetration and
  influence in the UK media market. I mean, whether you are
  a Europhile or a Eurosceptic, do we really believe that
  Murdoch is interested only in defending British institutions
  like the pound rather than expanding News Corporation's
  portfolio in mainland Europe and beyond?
