As Google built the most powerful tool imaginable - the entire world of digital knowledge revealed behind a simple search box - so did Craig build a simple tool that changed society , and newspapers and real estate and more, without prescribing how we should use it.

• People tune in to the Fox News Channel because it was founded on the premise that all sides should be presented fairly.
