‘Just this year…Watters called global warming “corporate propaganda” and “a ruse,” said efforts to reduce emissions were “just a ploy” to get people “to buy more stuff the Democrats are selling,” and claimed that “certain parts of the world will get a tiny bit warmer, but the United States will do just fine.”’

Conspiracy nutter Watters suggested on air ‘that environmental groups advocating for increased investment in renewable energy “are taking dirty Russian money … to scare Americans out of fracking and energy exploration.”

‘He also helped to fuel unsubstantiated rumors being pushed by Republican lawmakers who say that offshore wind farms along the U.S. East Coast—none of which have actually been built yet—are responsible for an uptick of recent whale deaths.’

The is central.

@TheAustralian doesn't even seem to be attempting to be a NEWSpaper anymore, just a bitter LNP pamphlet

RT @simon_rosenberg@twitter.com

@MikeCarlton01@twitter.com Australian governments either work hand-in-glove with the Murdochs [LNP]
or are too gutless to take them on [Labor].

So our major political parties are also undermining democracy.

‪Boohoo. But it’s not over yet. There’s still to go. ‬

“Mr Murdoch remains confident that the court would ultimately find in his favour, however he does not wish to further enable Crikey’s use of the court to litigate a case from another jurisdiction that has already been settled and facilitate a marketing campaign designed to attract subscribers and boost their profits.”

withholding recordings and
“Judge Davis also expressed frustration at the network's lawyers for not revealing the full extent of Fox Corp Chairman Rupert Murdoch's role at Fox News.”
Fox attorneys said Murdoch has no official role and doesn’t make day-to-day decisions. But he’s an executive chair of the network.
"My problem is that it has been represented to me more than once that he is not an officer," the judge said.

Lots of things behind it but I’m sure one is redirection of hate from immigrants and muslims. That doesnt give the far right enough traction in Aus any more. Shift the focus get more people out, make it appear as if society is crumbling and they are the only saviours, great media coverage and support in the generates more recruits.
Unfortunately when people are struggling with rents, mortgages, food, poor pay and life in general they look around and see billionaires and CEO’s taking millions and the politicians doing nothing, they find targets to release their anger on and the far right are good at harnessing this and directing it.

@rbreich this is a question those in UK and Australia should also be asking - not just the USA.

Also keep in mind all three have in common…..

@therightarticle one thing you’ll notice consistency about ‘conservative’ politicians and govt is; their policies and legislation ALWAYS punch down & rarely extend a hand up. It’s always women, children disproportionately damaged.

No demographic is safe from being their chose target, but it’s normally societies most vulnerable.

They’re added by

It’s same pattern which at its extreme leads to genocide

Rupert Murdoch “admitted that he provided a preview of the ads to Kushner before they became public. He also allegedly said he shared Biden's debate strategy during the 2020 campaign with Kushner.”

“…non-monetary goods or services, including "non-public opposition research, provided to a candidate free of charge or at a discount for campaign purposes, is defined under the campaign finance law as an in-kind contribution, subject to the reporting requirements and contribution limits."

The maximum penalty for such a "prohibited corporate contribution" is five years in prison and fines of 200% of the value of the contribution.

The Trump campaign broke the law by not disclosing the contribution.

Rick Morton blogs about that “classic of the [Murdoch] genre: person says something colourful, it is immediately and, I would argue, deliberately, misinterpreted and becomes the hook for an entire false premise.”

America is waking up to what UK, & most of have known for a long time: the Murdochs will publish whatever lies & propaganda will make them the most money.

“…In the Dominion case against Fox, Murdoch’s company is being exposed for what it is: a disinformation-for-profit noise machine controlled by a vile billionaire & operated by a pack of jackals who distort and pervert the national discourse.”

The article is totally bizarre - and a twisting and misrepresentation of the facts.

RT @QuentinDempster
Without acknowledging $Trillion national debt and still generous concessional tax on $3m+ superannuation accounts + fact that electors get to vote on proposal at 2025 fed election, R&L Murdoch declare “class warfare” over “broken promise”. Murdochs to tear down @AlboMP⁩.
