Wide circulation makes Murdoch a genius? Is Britanny Spears a genius then? The right amount of money 
from the right person at the right time doesn't equate with genius. He's business savy to be sure but 
building a media empire doesn't prove genius. Unless the term is meaningless. If Murdoch is a genius then 
so is Bernie Ecclestone.
