  1. What is wrong with our ABC News? Twice today I’ve listened to the news & heard rubbish from Scott Morrison, the Worst PM Ever, interviewed on #Murdoch’s Sky commenting on PNG & a Trump Peace Prize?! We voted him out of office. Why are we STILL getting “Morrison says…” on *our ABC*? Please stop.

  2. Why did #JDVance fly to Montana in June for a secret meeting with #Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch and top Fox execs? Is he in on it?

    The meeting went down at the #Murdochs’ massive ranch. No press. No cameras. Vance flew in and flew out the same night.

    Something’s up.

  8. Can we choose neither?

    “Is the world better off with tech bros like Musk who demand unlimited freedom and assert their influence brazenly, or old-style media moguls who spin fine-sounding rhetoric about freedom of the press and exert influence under the cover of journalism?”

    I love it when prominent right-wing extremists dig their own graves and a are shown that everyone is expendable.

    Good riddance to bad rubbish, #Carlson!

    LMAO 😅🤣😂

    However, #TFG is almost as skilled in this. Let's see.

    "Mr. Carlson learned that he served at the pleasure of the #Murdochs.

    Their decision in the end was as swift and unsentimental as the two-paragraph statement the network sent in announcing his #dismissal: “We thank him for his service.”"

  10. Over the past 2 yrs, the #Murdochs’ patience began to wear thin…. #TuckerCarlson emerged as an almost #unaccountable figure who drew new headaches w/ #ConspiracyTheory programming that included falsely portraying… #Jan6… as possibly orchestrated by the fed govt. Then, as the #Dominion case headed to trial, he told his audience last month that the rioting was… a peaceful exercise, using security footage that the #Republican Speaker of the #House, #KevinMcCarthy, had given to Carlson exclusively.

  11. “The #Murdochs have paid before. They agreed to settlements in excess of $900 million over allegations of fraud and anti-competitive practices against #NewsCorp's lesser-known marketing business, News America; they paid hundreds of millions of dollars in a massive phone and email hacking scandal involving their British tabloids; and they paid roughly $200 million ….“

    #FoxNews settles blockbuster #defamation lawsuit with #Dominion Voting Systems - #NPR

  12. New details in Dominion suit reveal damning evidence of deception in Fox News' 2020 election coverage

    Media Matters has obtained a slide deck used at a March 21 hearing in #Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against #Fox News.

    Dominion is currently suing the network for repeating lies about the company's involvement in the 2020 election in furtherance of the Trump campaign’s attempts to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory.

    Filings from the suit made public over recent weeks have shown that from the #Murdochs themselves to top talent and show #producers, Fox engaged in a systematic effort to #profit from #lies about the 2020 election and avoid backlash from its rabid audience.

    Notes from a pre-interview with Rep. Kevin #McCarthy reveal him saying that he did not believe there was “mass cheat” in the 2020 election.

    Texts show Tucker Carlson calling former Trump attorney #Sidney #Powell a “crazy person” and “a #psychopath” among various slurs.

    An email shows Scott stressing that “I can't keep defending these reporters who don't understand our viewers and how to handle stories. ... We lost 25k subs from FOX NATION.”

    Another instance shows Fox “Brain Room” staffer Leonard Balducci sending fact checks from Dominion and The Associated Press debunking #election #fraud claims to production staff.

    In a text chain, Carlson called election denier Mike #Lindell “definitely crazy,” but conceded that he “has bailed us out loads of times when no one else would” with ads.

  13. CW: News Corp tabloid the Advertiser appears to be boycotting Adelaide Fringe festival after ad deal breaks down

    Foreigner #murdochs monopoly on media in Australia, supported by both major parties.

    The irony: He gave up Australian citizenship because the US doesn’t allow media ownership by foreigners.
