Rupert Murdoch was a poisonous force not just in America, and he meant to flood the world with his Goebellian opinions. He found Roger Ailes and accelerated which accelerated the process of chaos that unnerved Democratic nations. The UK admonished him in the 1980s but failed by not canceling his license and jailing him. However, by then he had made the US his base and Fox News his primary platform.
However, it all really began in Australia with the sacking of Gough Whitlam, and his destructive force continues today. China was much wiser than the West and the Anglosphere and simply “Kicked him out”. Murdoch’s been heaping his revenge ever since despite China’s request to silence lies and personal attacks. The search for truth based on verified data and rational analysis has been lost and Murdoch created the model that has been the yardstick for countless mimics across the planet. He’s a political force and to say otherwise is to be blind. He has even appointed mad monk Tony Abbott to his board of directors.
“Murdoch created a uniquely destructive force in American democracy and public life, one that ushered in an era of division where racist and post-truth politics thrive”
