American media mogul?

Murdoch is from Australia.

He was born in Australia, but in 1985 he surrendered his Australian citizenship in order to meet the legal requirements to become the owner of a US television network.

So, he is not (anymore) an Australian.

I once put forth an 'Everlasting Australian How-To-Vote Card':

"Find out who Murdoch wants you to vote for, then vote the opposite way."

He is also a US citizen. That means he took an oath to uphold the US constitution with a straight face.
