Murdoch has been the scourge of the entire western world, or at the very least the western anglosphere. He might be an American, but his influence is not limited to that country.

Same with the use of the term "boomers", and the association with boomers ruining the economy for everyone else. For example here's an excellent lecture from a surprisingly self-aware boomer Conservative member of the House of Lords in the UK. Despite being both a Conservative and a boomer, he points out the ways in which boomers have destroyed the economic prospects of future generations. This is in the context of the UK, not America (though the same lessons apply in America, Australia, and elsewhere).
