Rupert's divorce is just another lockdown divorce, divorces are at record highs because of lockdown, people got sick of each other. But it’s amazing to think that it’s Rupert's fourth failed marriage but it’s the only one that didn’t make it to 10 years. He managed 11 years with his first wife and they were both about 25 at the time. He then managed 32 years with Anna and she was only 23 when they were married, whereas he was 13 years older. And Wendi Deng, he managed 14 years and there was a 38-year difference. And with Jerry Hall, they only got to six years and it was a 26-year gap. But what’s interesting, is Rupert rarely stays single for long. The longest break he's had has been two years between Wendi and Jerry, so who knows, he’s going to go a fifth time. Any thoughts ?

What about one from his very large stable of blonde Sky/Foxtard ranters? Spoiled for choice.

The moderate son who was to succeed walked over the direction the company was taking. Lachlan is happy with it apparently, so little will change. Rupert wont be far away and still interfering.

Now does this belong here or in the Trump thread? Murdoch and TrumpMurdoch’s media empire was particularly kind to Donald Trump throughout his presidency. But Wolff hasn’t been as kind to Trump, having written three books about his time in the White House. In The Fall, Wolff details how Murdoch has flipped to despise Trump. “Of all Trump’s implacable enemies, Murdoch had become a frothing-at-the-mouth one,” Wolff writes in his book, according to The Independent. “His relatively calm demeanour from the early Trump presidency where, with a sigh, he could dismiss him merely as a ‘f—ing idiot’ had now become a churning stew of rage and recrimination. “Trump’s death became a Murdoch theme: ‘We would all be better off …?’ ‘This would all be solved if …’ ‘How could he still be alive, how could he?’ ‘Have you seen him? Have you seen what he looks like? What he eats?’” https://thenewdaily.com.au/entertainment/books/2023/09/21/rupert-murdoch-fox-news-michael-wolff/ |

“Most of the media is in cahoots with those elites, peddling political narratives rather than pursuing the truth.” Rupert You have to admire that level of hypocrisy.

Few people bear more responsibility for Trump than Murdoch. Fox News gave Trump a regular platform for his racist lies about Barack Obama’s birthplace. It immersed its audience in a febrile fantasy world in which all mainstream sources of information are suspect, a precondition for Trump’s rise. (Many people have described losing loved ones to Fox’s all-consuming alternative reality.) After Trump lost in 2020, Fox helped spread the defeated president’s falsehoods about a stolen election, which both contributed to the Jan. 6 insurrection and cost Fox nearly $800 million in its settlement with Dominion Voting Systems. (It was as part of that settlement, Wolff writes, that Fox fired its biggest star, the demagogic troll Tucker Carlson.) In Wolff’s telling, Murdoch is a sort of hapless Frankenstein, abominating the monster he set loose on the world but unsure how to fight him. This waffling, however, is a product of the same venality that has always undergirded Murdoch’s old-fashioned right-wing politics. In his farewell letter, Murdoch, the Oxford-educated son of a wealthy Australian media executive, poses as a populist, decrying a media that’s in “cahoots” with elites, “peddling political narratives rather than pursuing the truth.” This is pure projection: Fox exists to peddle self-serving political narratives, deceiving its audience under the guise of respecting it. In “The Fall” — a book that isn’t for anyone who doesn’t want to encounter casual slurs — Murdoch says of the celebrity anchor Sean Hannity, “He’s retarded, like most Americans.” The last thing Murdoch wants to do is risk lower ratings by leveling with the audience he looks down on. Yes, Trump was briefly banished from Fox’s airwaves, and Murdoch championed Trump’s putative rival, Ron DeSantis. But with DeSantis’s star falling, Fox has slavishly defended Trump each time he’s been indicted, while ignoring or minimizing news putting Trump in a bad light. As of May 4, the liberal group Media Matters found, Fox had devoted a mere 13 minutes of airtime to Trump’s civil trial on charges of sexually assaulting the writer E. Jean Carroll. “It was clear how much antipathy Murdoch had personally built up toward Trump,” writes Wolff. “But at the same time there was no change in his expectations as the owner of the country’s ratings-leading news channel.” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/21/opinion/rupert-murdoch-fox-news.html |

Michael Wolff has been caught out stretching or not being too particular about facts, but on that I reckon he is not far from the mark.

As long as Murdoch is alive, the future of Fox is unwritten. Once he
dies, his four oldest children will determine who controls it, and James
may yet prevail. But Murdoch’s legacy is decided. We are hurling toward
another government shutdown, egged on
by Hannity. The electorate that Fox helped shape, and the politicians
it indulges, have made this country ungovernable. An unbound Trump may
well become president again, bringing liberal democracy in America to a
grotesque end. If so, it will be in large part Murdoch’s fault. “The
Murdochs feel bad, about Tucker, about Trump, about themselves,” writes
Wolff. Just not bad enough.
