The former Prime Minister of Australia said politicians are frightened of him:
JD Vance recently flew across the United States to meet him in his mansion:

The only reason why trump being a pedo is an issue now is because this parasite decided to make an issue.
I guess good over all to get some exposure to the pedo regime but let’s be real Murdoch ain’t doing this to help us or for justice.
Trump likely outlived his usefulness and being flashed to cover up for other pedos within the parasite class.
I suspect too that Trump is simply not useful anymore to whoever actually has significant influence within the US.
Consider that Trump actively harms the US economy, in more ways than one.
- Trump’s stance against “handouts” to the people cripple the US economy. Poor people will spend whatever they get. If they get $1K in handouts, they’re gonna spend $990 in consumer spending, thus stimulating the economy. The economy is like a human blood, it needs to keep flowing sothat the human can thrive. Trump’s crippling of consumer spending cripples the US economy, and that certainly is a problem to whatever feudal lords there are in the US operating in the shadows today.
- Trump’s stance against renewable energy makes energy significantly more expensive, which again harms manufacturing (blue collar jobs) because cheap energy is the basis on which manufacturing runs. All manufacturing is a direct consequence of plentifully available cheap energy, and we all know that solar energy is the cheapest form of energy in human history
- Trump’s cuts to NASA are a threat to a new and growing economic branch that robs people of a vision of future and aspiration. The exact consequences are hard to estimate today, but they’re definitely cuts to the US economy’s future.
Consider that the wealthy elite is heavily interested in a good economy; it is their life and blood.
Everything in recent years has gone sideways. Murdoch initially wanted to build Fox News around Obama but was overruled by Roger Ailes according to reports. Ailes wanted to build conservative propaganda networks whereas Murdoch wanted people watching the news.
Jeff Bezos’s wapo and Murdoch have become allies in exposing the Epstein pedophilia network. And oddly also Walmart. This must have to do with the tariffs and ultimately the economic impact of the tariffs.
And oddly also Walmart.
I suspect they might want to present themselves as “fighting for the people, i.e. against Trump”?
Considering that walmart is heavily connected to the people directly (as they are daily customers), it is very important for them to get along well with the local citizens. That is especially so as maybe, otherwise people get dissatisfied with “big companies” and “big chains” and that anger might last out against walmart, as it is a big chain?
He’s a fucking ghoul that has been influencing opinion in the anglosphere for many years. He’s got too much control over the media in the UK, US, and Australia.
Not just media - he directly has a hand in shaping governmental policy.
By his own admission, that’s why he dislikes the EU so much - they don’t pay enough attention to him.
Murdoch is one of the first people Trump entertained in the oval office when he took over this round.
and the tri·um·vi·rate alliance of them at the Qatar racing rally track in '23, with murdoch/putin, musk and a putin aligned propagandist.
he has a hand in australia too, one of his propaganda channels, Australia sky news, is meant to trick people into thinking its the british/UK sky news. its almost always that creepy indian lady as the anchor.
Unfortunately, that niche is filled by axel springer, instead of just being empty
Yeah, I would wish for the European controlling organs to have a look at that one as well.
On top of that, I have no clue if these words exist in the English language. But I’m walking my dog, and I don’t care enough to look it up.
His father was an S-tier douchebag as well. And he started his douchebaggery in fucking WWI!
Could be the plot of a James Bond movie… wait
Technically he owns the majority stock in two mega media conglomerates that own these companies. Right now he and his children are fighting over ownership after he dies https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/dec/12/the-guardian-view-on-the-murdoch-family-drama-moguls-death-could-imitate-art
Their story is basicly the real life inspiration for succession
Their story is basicly the real life inspiration for succession
You can say that again…
This guy is an actual supervillian that somehow beat the whole world
Originally I thought Murdoch was the inspiration for the villian in Tomorrow Never Dies, but that was a different billionaire media mogul (and father of Ghislaine Maxwell).
Murdoch is a vermin and we need pest control
Boycott…
Fox News
The New York Post
The Sun
The Times
The Sunday Times
Sky News
The Wall Street Journal
Comedy Central has better reporting.
Apparently I have been for many years
Yeah it’s easy to do because those outlets all suck
To anyone with a smidgen of critical thinking ability, yes.
Just like my decades long boycott of Nestlé is FINALLY gaining traction.
Atta BOY!
John Oliver is far better and he’s not even a journalist.
It’s a shame, I had no idea he owned Sky News. I usually found them to be an excellent professional news source when one doesn’t want the Governmental bias of the BBC.
I wouldn’t trust Comedy Central though, joke or not, they’re American, and the Americans can’t be trusted these days either.
I suppose the lesson here, sadly, is that we can’t believe anything from any source at all. Assume everything is half-truths, half-reported, and what we’re being shown is the distraction from the thing they don’t want us to look at.
I wish I knew how to find the hidden “real news”, but the sorts of people that purport to provide it are loonies in their basements in tinfoil hats, alas. Though, perhaps that’s just the image of them that the media wants us to see…
:-(
It seems only Sky News Australia is owned by Murdoch and not linked to Sky News UK.
Aahhhh, that makes more sense. I wondered how such a seemingly respectable, proper journalistic platform could be owned by that tosser, haha.
Well, small victories I suppose! Thank you for clarifying that.
Bold of you to assume folks here pay for their news
OP isn’t familiar with the term “preaching to the choir”.
it seems also has control over the youtube channel of australian sky news.
he’s garbage but sky news (uk) is owned by comcast not rupert these days; sky news australia is still owned by him though
he does own talktv though.
Cocmast is not exactly better than Murdoch, though. Enshittification is a null-sum game.
YSK that he is also the most successful shriveled up testicle ever, and ironically he and his children are a bunch of “cunts” according to many Australians.
Hey, not just Aussies, friend. The rest of the world also considers all of them useless, parasitic, rotten cunts — from the top of their cunty übermensch lizard-skulls to their cunty grind-the-brown-children-into-dust hoof-covers. 🤌🏼
lachlan is worst than he is, currently hes trying to cut his other children out of the will, so they cant potentially shut down fox, because the other children besides lachlan dont share his views.
Lachlan* worse* he’s* can’t* don’t*
It’s like you’re consciously trying to make yourself look dumb by ignoring basic grammar.
Its like you’re consciously trying to make yourself look like an ass by complaining about people’s grammar on lemmy.
I dunno, James doesn’t seem like a complete fuckwit
He should be considered enemy #1 of the American people.
And the Australian people, and the British people.
Of everyone
I’ll put him as a close enemy #2 after Trump, if only because I believe Murdoch is closer to death and his heirs are trapped in a succession crisis that may compromise his conservative media empire when he’s gone.
Trump would still be cheating real estate investors in NYC if it wasn’t for Murdock. If I could death note anyone he would be #3 behind Putin and Netanyahu.
Owns more than just that. Owns the entire Dow Jones as well, which explains a lot.
He owns the Sun and the Sky? Is he gonna buy the Land next?
No need, the Land already worships both.
The trees
He’s coming for the trees
He is the mainstream media.
I never cease to be amazed that Rupert Murdoch is still alive. Truly a terrible injustice that time has not yet seen fit to take him from this world.
His longevity may be attributed to a simple misinterpretation: “That is not dead which can eternal lie”.
^ Ever read a post that makes you want to cheer out loud because it’s so clever? This one, right here.
A patient person with a sniper rifle could be an option.
Obviously I’m not advocating this type of action, obviooooouuuusly. I’m merely saying that he probably doesn’t have the same type of protection that a world leader enjoys soooo…
BUT SOROS!!!
