We watched Murdoch begin his destruction of the free press in Australia, since the seventies. Fiji kicked them out of the country.

Rupert Murdoch gets no sympathy. He has done everything he could to harm this country. There is nothing good about him, and will be remembered for the monster he is.

100% BANG 💥 ON. And dont kid yourselves: it’s not just Rupert Murdoch, Fox News, and Washington Post. It’s a concerted propaganda war being led by Russia, and they’ve enlisted MAGA as well as “right-leaning” evangelicals who don’t question anything they’re told.

His father was correct. Whatever he thinks he has accomplished it has nothing to do with journalism. If his father returned today he would consider him an utter failure.
