How big is the Rupert Murdoch (FOXNews) story of lies and deceit?

[kentuck]

Follow the $$$$$$$$$$$$.

The corruption seems to go on for infinity.

FOX News is a propaganda arm for the Republican Party. Donald Trump works hand-in-hand with Rupert Murdoch. Do not be deceived by the "criticism" from Trump. The Republican Party still supports Donald Trump. FOX News, the Republican Party, and Donald Trump are all on the same team and support the same lies and propaganda.

In 2019, the FOX Corporation sold much of their holdings to Disney for $71 billion dollars. This enriched the Murdoch family immensely. They did not sell FOX News, FOX Sports, or local FOX stations.

It is reported that 61% of the Murdoch empire is owned by other stockholders? They could actually sue Murdoch and FOX News if it was to their benefit.

We can see the conspiracy of lies with Murdoch, Trump, and the Republicans, but who does Trump give his loyalty? Is Vladimir Putin still part of this conspiracy picture?

The dark money has taken over American politics and much of it is switched thru the people mentioned above.

2. Without Fox News pushing The Big Lie

Trump is nothing. Nixon would have skated if Fox News was around.

The Big Lie is the key, the rallying cry of the insurrection, the key to fomenting distrust in government, with distrust of our elections we do not have a democracy and DOJ had the chance to tamp down the Big Lie but it did not.

DOJ allowed a pro-Trump bogus company with a mailbox for an office have access to ballots, voter information, election equipment and materials all in violation of federal election law, Title 52. The fraudits then spread to other states. To this day the Cyber Ninjas have not been held accountable. 2 citizens groups filed FOIA requests for the Cyber Ninjas to produce documents and a judge agreed. They produced nothing, were fined 50k per day by the judge, they did nothing and never paid the fine because they were a bogus company. All that DOJ did was write them a stern letter which the Cyber Ninjas not only disregarded but did the opposite of the letter.

Not holding criminals accountable has consequences, it emboldens them. The insurrection is ongoing, Fox News is not going to change.

8. Roger Ailes wanted to create a GOP news organization that would have allowed Nixon off the hook.

He was quoted about that in the 70's. Later he co-founded Fox News.

3. "V.R.W.C." She called it.

When your megaphone can be heard coast-to-coast and around the world, you got half the battle won right there.

Every other player and party has to pay. And I do mean pay.

To level the playing field, how about we limit the length of the campaign season and provide equal air time?

6. I was glad they sold the movie studio to Disney

I wanted to barf everytime the 20th Century Fox logo appeared the moniker "A News Corporation Company". Made me not want to watch it.

7. How big?

First the story is not big news because it's something we all knew in broad outlines already. The story just fills in nasty but inconsequential details. Secondly, the story is not big because their audience does not care. Their audience not caring should be the big takeaway from this story.

Let's watch.

10. Your last point is the one that needs our focus.

The fact that "their audience" is an isolated and protected one that has become problematic in their thoughts and deeds by way of the propaganda they regularly consume is what needs to be stopped. We are not talking about freedom of the press anymore.

The very fact that their 'news' isn't, and that their media personalities are not journalists or newscasters should mean no 'press passes' or privileges. We don't allow media influencers to join press pools and get White House clearance.

I can remember an event under Obama (News Corespondent's Dinner maybe?) where the right wing went nuts because the place cards at the table simply read 'Fox' and not 'Fox News'. I thought right on! It's a start.

9. Will Fox News viewers just dismiss this because of the "everybody lies" excuse?

That's my guess.
