high control religious "cults" claim. They say the only way to salvation is through them, and you must "believe" everything they say. now matter what you can never question what the cult claims.

They also solicit "donations" from their members!

went right along with the lies - from Sean Spicer saying it was the biggest inauguration ever, to not questioning the ridiculous "covfefe" tweet and so on and so forth - they were not allowed to question Dear Leader.

It reminds me of his time in office when news about him was inescapable.

Sashay in, turn a smashed chair right side up, and announce that he's the guy to fix the mess.

Of course, then he cuts them loose just before they go bankrupt.

I watched a couple of episodes of How to Become a Tyrant on Netflix. That's one of a tyrant's weapons.

That was his reaction to Fox News calling Arizona for Biden.

But James Murdoch had donated to Biden this election, had been the head of 21st Century Fox, not the news side, until March 2019, and had resigned from the board of News Corp in July 2020 "due to disagreements over certain editorial content published by the Company’s news outlets and certain other strategic decisions". Basically, he was the one for whom Trump was a step too far. But Trump, supposedly the master manipulator of the right wing media, didn't know who controlled it.
