James has no "say" over the board, the owners -- and it is a PRIVATE company, so it's not a "vote of the board" deal--retain complete control over the enterprise. And that lousy five percent is an INVESTMENT, it does not come with the perks of "ownership." Murdoch doesn't "own" any part of VICE. That's entirely clear from the article.
More to the point, James has nothing to do with the "news"--not as a director, not as an anything. Our little friend just made that up. And then he laughed about it, with a little roly poly laughing man.
He's playing a little game here, but veracity isn't a big part of his amusements.
He should be ashamed of himself.
