Help me find where this quote came from....

[I have WHAT in my yard?]

My ventures in media are not as important to me as spreading my personal political beliefs.

This is attributed to Rupert Murdoch all over the internet, but I'll be danged if I can find any real source for it. Can anyone help me? I refuse to fall prey to recounting internet "truths" as truth without a source.....​

I can't find anything but lists of supposed quotes, with no sources cited.

Did you check snopes?

The farthest I've found is that it's attributed to the Hollywood Reporter on November 23, 2005. I'm seeing if I can find it...

Rupert Murdoch is all I can find, but I'm still searching.

ETA: IT is discussed in the 5th paragraph here.

Now THIS is interesting - apparently the quote goes way back to WWII, or pieces of it anyways.

I got nothing but a page from Evan Carmichael with a bunch of Murdoch quotes.

After further investigation I have decided that I am a boob. The link used the WORDS and they are all over the place in that but not the whole quote.

This is good stuff thanks BUT it actually looks like it MAY have been Lachlan Murdoch who said it..... Anyone? I cannot find the original article in Hollywood Reporter. Can anyone else??
