    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.

          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.

    Rupert Murdoch needs to be hung, drawn and quartered, and all of his possessions divided among the entire world!

    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.

      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…

      :-(

    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.

    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.

      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.

        It’s like you’re consciously trying to make yourself look dumb by ignoring basic grammar.
