It is uncivil of me to refer to Trump’s lawyers in Trump v. Murdoch as unserious, clownish, or sparkle-magic. However there is a civil way to tell the judge the same thing:
> Plaintiff offers no justification for starting discovery while Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the FAC (“Motion to Dismiss”) is pending. Instead, he resorts to strawman arguments and misrepresentations. For example, he argues that Defendants “speculat[e]” that Plaintiff “might” pursue Murdoch’s deposition first, Stay Mot. Opp. 4, a disingenuous argument given that Plaintiff informed Defendants that he intends to “commence” discovery by deposing Murdoch first, see Stay Mot. Bolger Decl. Ex. 1. Plaintiff then repeatedly asserts that Defendants seek an “indefinite” discovery stay, see Stay Mot. Opp. 4, 6, 11, 13-14, 16, when of course all Defendants seek is a finite stay pending resolution of their Motion to Dismiss. And finally, Plaintiff offers no reason why the discovery stay governing the first round of briefing — one he agreed to — should not similarly apply here, especially after this Court already once concluded that Plaintiff’s defamation claim was inadequately pled.
Doc 73, 2026/07/01 “Defendants’ Reply in Further Support of Motion to Stay Discovery”, page 1, in #Trump v. #Murdoch and the #WSJ in a #Defamation #lawsuit
So they may have sacrificed their legal education on the altar of Trump’s ongoing grievances with reality, but I’m sure their mothers loved them until they sued in federal court for $Billions over household chores.

We also have Trump's Doc 71, [Trump]'s Memorandum of Law in Opposition to
[Murdoch and the WSJ's] Motion[69] to Stay Discovery Pending Ruling on Motion to Dismiss First Amended Complaint [67]It also suffers by being tied to the defects of the First Amended Complaint, but these aren't Trump's serious lawyers so they go too far.
> Defendants have not been served with any discovery requests.
— p. 15, Doc 17.
Yeah, no. These are the people who tired to get a deposition at a time there was no operative complaint. Much like Trump himself, his lawyers are losing a credibility war with AI-produced LEGO videos and Rupert Murdoch.
#Trump v. #Murdoch and the #WSJ #Defamation #Lawsuit (25-cv-23232) District Court, S.D. Florida
https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/70843413/trump-v-murdoch/I think the judge is going to need a murder board to connect Trump's lawyers statement of the case and issues with the actual facts and laws which still seem mostly on Murdoch's side. Hopefully the reply briefs will be informative to the judge.

Zwischen 2002 und 2011 wurden im Vereinigten Königreich tausende Mobiltelefon-Mailboxen von Prominenten, Politikern und anonymen Bürgern abgehört. Hinter der Handy-Spionage stand eine Zeitung aus Rupert Murdochs Medienimperium.

@jhaue I think that's exactly what's happening. A lot of what gets presented as "public opinion" is really the result of concentrated money and media influence. You've got Gina Rinehart buying media stakes while backing Hanson financially, and the Murdoch press lining up behind Abbott and the Liberals. That doesn't feel like grassroots politics so much as powerful interests shaping the conversation.
It's a familiar pattern: wealthy resource interests, supportive media outlets, and a fragmented right working together to push the political debate in a particular direction. With Nine/Fairfax one of the few major media groups not fully in that camp, it's hard not to wonder how much genuine diversity of opinion remains in the media landscape.
Stronger media ownership rules and greater transparency around political donations would be a good start. Otherwise, a small group of very powerful players will keep having an outsized influence on the issues that dominate public debate.#AusPol #MediaOwnership #PoliticalDonations #Murdoch #Democracy #MediaDiversity #Transparency #Australia

Australia’s media ownership is becoming more concentrated by the day. Gina Rinehart quietly helped bankroll almost 10% of the company behind Channel Seven, Triple M, Hit radio, and major podcast networks, through a former Seven executive acting on her behalf.
When billionaires can quietly expand influence over the media that shapes public opinion, democracy suffers.
The body meant to regulate Australia’s media is funded by the very outlets it’s supposed to oversee. That is not independent regulation.
More than 27,000 people have already signed the petition calling for a truly independent media regulator. Add your name and demand accountability before even more media power ends up in fewer hands.

@Qldaah What Adam Morton/The Guardian don't mention is that taxpayers subsidise fossil fuel at $8bn. Aside from mining, agriculture is also responsible. Who are the biggest landholding farmers in Australia?
The QLD government, along with Gina Rinehart, Andrew Forrest, Murdoch + Holmes a Court families. Yes, climate200 support diesel for Australia's richest farmers + carbon credits via farms.

Murdoch’s papers spent years screaming that tax cuts for billionaires would “trickle down”.
Now Labor tweaks super concessions for the ultra wealthy and suddenly it’s “class war”, “economic vandalism” and the end of civilisation.

@augustusbrown @hailey
That’s not a broken promise? Mate, this was the gold standard of broken promises.“No cuts to education.”
“No cuts to health.”
“No cuts to the ABC or SBS.”
“No changes to pensions.”Then came the budget chainsaw.
Funny how Murdoch media suddenly discovers outrage over a tiny negative gearing tweak, but barely blinked when Tony Abbott torched half his 2013 promises. 🤔

The Monster They Made (Part 1)
The coup did not sow the seeds for the Islamic Revolution. It constructed the machinery. SAVAK liquidated every secular democrat who might have led a modern Iran. The mosque was left standing because it was the one institution the secret police found too difficult to penetrate. Every morning the Australian media tells us the bombing is regrettable but the regime is monstrous. It does not explain who built the regime.https://urbanwronski.com/2026/05/15/the-monster-they-made-part-1/

Funny how Sky News Australia suddenly loses its mind the moment someone suggests taxing gas exports.
Almost like Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp might have a vested interest in keeping the gas giants happy.

Rupert Murdoch wird 95. Laut David Schafbuch („Tagesanbruch“, t-online) hat der Medienmogul Trump mit groß gemacht – und ihn später selbst unterschätzt. Ein Lehrstück darüber, wie Medienmacht politische Dynamiken entfesseln kann.

@davoyager I’m not saying #Faux is to blame: #religion has been herding their #truebelievers long before #murdoch (and the #republicans, etc…) found they could capitalize on it
I can’t tell you what percentage of the population is insecure with ambiguity and tends towards #blackandwhite answers, irrespective of facts, but I’d say anecdotally: it’s around half the population (more than would say they are religious… and I don’t mean to imply all religious folk are #truebelievers )
