'superficial' is the definition.

'cut in former murdoch organisation' is the wordplay.
'cut' becomes 'etch' (I've seen this before).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'former murdoch organisation' becomes 'sky' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'etch' placed inside 'sky' is 'SKETCHY'.
