Not that we’d pretend to understand how Rupert Murdoch thinks, but a question: If you’re leaving the board meeting of your global media behemoth at which the board has just voted to approve your deal to buy a company you’ve aggressively pursued, if you’re successfully buying the company after you didn’t budge an inch from your initial offer a few months ago while all the people who’d publicly said they hated you eventually came around and sold their family company to you, if you’ve said for years, even decades, that you wanted to buy this company, and if you’ve intentionally left the window of your SUV open so that photogs could get a good shot of you reveling in your victory, well, shouldn’t you at least try to look excited? Just asking.
