The boss of Foxtel - a majority News Corp-owned cable television company in Australia - has “unreservedly” apologised after an image surfaced of him performing a Nazi salute.
In his internal memo, Mr Delaney said that he had been “searching [his] mind” for a circumstance where “a photo capturing me in this pose could ever be possible”.
He then explained that he believed he was impersonating a threatening gesture made by a group of Western Sydney Wanderers fans during the 2014-15 season, while visiting the set of a Fox Sports television program during his tenure as the channel’s CEO.
Mr Delaney said the photograph - first published by Crikey - was “completely inconsistent” with his “values, beliefs, and family connections”.
Dude, you are an exec for News Corp. No one is going to buy this.
Patrick Delaney’s salute:
I know News Corp are evil, but this pic looks more mocking than heartfelt.
I’m sure Hyundai is thrilled regardless
Yeah, I don’t think “all publicity is good publicity” applies here…
Kind of looks like he covered a burp while gesturing at something in the distant air. Very Curb Your Enthusiasm.
News Corpse are trashy as ever.
Demonstrating to his friends how to do it properly?
