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:
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.
Could be the plot of a James Bond movie… wait
His father was an S-tier douchebag as well. And he started his douchebaggery in fucking WWI!
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.
it seems also has control over the youtube channel of australian sky news.
Bold of you to assume folks here pay for their news
OP isn’t familiar with the term “preaching to the choir”.
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 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.
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).
Owns more than just that. Owns the entire Dow Jones as well, which explains a lot.
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.
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…
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

You can say that again…
BUT SOROS!!!
Checkmate Atheists!
Murdoch is a vermin and we need pest control
Apparently Lachlan is son is even worst than he is, hes a true believer of trump. and hes trying to cut his other children out of his will, and give it all to Lachlan, because them not on the same page of conservatism, could threaten his FOx news company. Another fun fact, he seperated fox from his other news sites, so they arnt liable if fox gets sued.
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.
It will be interesting once he dies. Iirc his kids (3 of 4) inheriting his estate don’t have the same vision as him.
There are those who will inherit the assets and there’s the one just like his dad who is in line for his dad’s role and will take over the constant money supply.
