Rupert Murdoch condemns liberals for giving America an ‘identity crisis’

International media mogul Rupert Murdoch has issued a rallying cry for the US to return to a culture of strong leadership and the strident assertion of “the American personality” on the world stage, while criticising what he termed the liberal “comfortable elite” for giving the country an “identity crisis”.
In a sweeping speech to a conservative US thinktank, reproduced on Wednesday as an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal, which Murdoch owns, he praised the legacy of American political and military might around the world and called for the US once again to promote its driving values of freedom and “exceptionalism”.
“The world, as we know it, depends on our great country,” he said. TheGuardian.com
