Reading about the Rupert Murdoch family trust mess. My favorite anecdote is when Rupert’s lawyer cross-examined his son James, trying to get him to admit that his plans to make Fox News more honest would hurt its value because it’s business model was to just tell viewers what they wanted to hear. 👀
Comments
but consider the irony of former MSNBC viewers switching to Fox News, and vice versa.
😆😂
The thing is, MAGA republicans “think” Fox IS telling the truth, so actually telling the truth, wouldn’t be so bad.
America really needs the truth right now.
They came here from somewhere else extremely wealthy, and became more extremely wealthy. (Especially, Murdoch)
Where the fuck is all that money going, assholes?!
I would say their business model fuelled their wealth by telling people what Murdoch’s wanted the people to hear.”
It could go that way but, as someone deep in the heart of MAGA 🍎 people are getting pissed 😡
Men don’t seem to be proudly displaying their MAGA 🍎 gear nearly as much post-election
My one neighbor who loved RFK jr has some reservations now
They can’t indoctrinate all of us 🖕🇺🇸🖕
FUCK MURDOCH
billionares are fucking nuts lol

It's illegal and no one should tolerate it.
Keep putting pressure on local,state, and federal representatives and senators, governors, schoolboards ect.(insert your reps/senators info and pic)
It’s the ultimate scam—convincing people that they’re being informed while ensuring they stay misinformed. And worst of all, it works. Keep viewers entertained, keep them angry, and keep them addicted. The truth is inconvenient, and hide behind “we’re just giving people what they want".
A Nevada Court nixed Rupert changing his Trust to favor Lachlan, thank God!

They don't tell the news
Kinda like watching Musk run roughshod over the new Cabinet that is now empty since the DOGEBAGS came to town.
By a lot
I saw an octopus open a jar once without being shown how.
That octopus is smarter than most people
The only one
Not to fawn, but I adore your take on the current state of affairs.
Lachlan spent years telling journalists he was much more liberal than his father. Then Lachlan hired Tucker Carlson
James was involved in the UK phone hacking scandal and is on the board of Tesla, supporting drug-addled Elon Musk.
Trust no Murdoch
They are truly just giving people what they want.
Their viewership could easily reject the BS that fox spews but they eat it up like it's their nightly tapioca.
The problem is again that Fox is just giving them what they want to hear.
People don't like being informed.... They want their worldview to be validated.
Were the Germans who thought they had been betrayed at the end of WWI especially dim or gullible?
The difference is that we have way more information at our disposal now than what Germans did then.
If something is said on television, it can be fact-checked within seconds.
Watching other news was what made me see the truth. Then I found out they aren’t even a news channel. Disgusting that near half of this country believes the bullshit
But again the reason why they are able to do that is because people watch them.
If people just ignored them then they would die
If they came clean and just admitted that they lied would sway some.
But they have seen blow back when they had those rare moments of honesty.
