This article from the Australian news site "Crikey" touches on much more than just current goings on in the run up to the Australian election. The author argues that the Murdoch news empire is being cannibalized by the forces Murdoch himself helped unleash, and that this empire is in decline not just in Australia but in the US and the UK too.

Much to think about here. I wonder whether similar forces are at work in countries beyond the English speaking world where moguls have used media power to push their right wing agendas; Bolloré and the late and unlamented ( at least by me) Berlusconi come to mind.

Rupert Murdoch: Everything You Didn't Know About His Sh*tty Past
#Hysteria #HysteriaPodcast
On episode 17 of "This F*cking Guy," Hysteria podcast hosts Erin Ryan and Alyssa Mastromonaco dive deep into Rupert Murdoch’s unscrupulous past. From building a fake news media empire, to backstabbing his kids better than Logan Roy, to a relationship history to rival Henry VII, this guy is the grandpappy of evil meets ick.

A reminder why you shouldn’t vote for either major party. They have been shafting us for years at the behest of foreign influencers and large orgs and we have been letting them. My biggest fear is they are still reading the #murdoch bible to make decisions in relation to Trump #labor #lnp.

While I’m hopeful Labor will get another run in office, I am not sure of it. You’re right… the #Noalition campaign run by the #Murdoch and #Stokes machines is overwhelming Labor’s modest legislative progress because those #CorporateMedia outlets control the version of ‘news’ Australians get to see/hear/read.

I don’t know what the answer is to overcome the political slush that is drowning the electorate. Education? A slight interest in politics from your average Aussie voter? Less of a focus on what’s in it for me? Some empathy for the growing number of Aussies having a hard time putting food on the table and a roof over their head perhaps? All the usual things I normally think about when ‘thinking’ before ‘voting’.

FFS your own dad helped fuck things up (to be fair she does seem to realise that albeit belatedly, whole family is in Court squabbling over money!). And none of these execs said anything when it started going pear shaped 30 years ago..

“ I won't be gaslit over Trump. If you suck up to him, you will get more bullying — Malcolm Turnbull(The Sydney Morning Herald): I was not surprised to see the News Corp publications gleefully adopting Trump's abuse and claiming that I had “torpedoed” any hopes of securing an exemption from steel and aluminium tariffs. It has always been most unlikely that Australia will secure an exemption this time. It was hard enough in 2018 and all the signals from the administration are that the tariffs will be applied across the board.

And it perhaps never occurred to the team at News Corp's Holt Street HQ in Sydney that it is utterly bizarre that the unremarkable comments of a former prime minister would cause the US to decide not to exempt Australia from tariffs. Not a word of criticism of Trump, of course!

I was amused to reflect on the mental stress this episode was causing our friends at News Corp. Such a target-rich environment! They can blame me for the tariffs, or Kevin Rudd, or Anthony Albanese. Surely they can work out a formula where it's the fault of all three — but never, ever the fault of Donald Trump!”

Another example that Murdoch press is just #unethical and #evil. 😡

"News Corp staff tried to provoke workers at a Middle Eastern restaurant into making prejudicial comments.

The confrontation in the #Newtown restaurant was described this week by Asio’s director general, Mike Burgess, as “mind-blowingly stupid”.

News Corp tracked down the source of the leak to Crikey that the operation was known internally as “#undercoverjew” and he was asked to resign"

News Corp’s attempted to provoke Middle Eastern cafe staff. The Instigators had no consequence but the leaker of this story got fired.

The WSJ is Fox News. The Wall Street Journal, like Fox News, is owned by global fascist billionaire Murdoch, with multiple communication and news systems across the globe.

The Wall Street Journal is not REPORTING a fascist takeover, it is arranging a fascist takeover.
