John Oliver is far better and he’s not even a journalist.

It’s a shame, I had no idea he owned Sky News. I usually found them to be an excellent professional news source when one doesn’t want the Governmental bias of the BBC.
I wouldn’t trust Comedy Central though, joke or not, they’re American, and the Americans can’t be trusted these days either.
I suppose the lesson here, sadly, is that we can’t believe anything from any source at all. Assume everything is half-truths, half-reported, and what we’re being shown is the distraction from the thing they don’t want us to look at.
I wish I knew how to find the hidden “real news”, but the sorts of people that purport to provide it are loonies in their basements in tinfoil hats, alas. Though, perhaps that’s just the image of them that the media wants us to see…

It seems only Sky News Australia is owned by Murdoch and not linked to Sky News UK.

it seems also has control over the youtube channel of australian sky news.

YSK that he is also the most successful shriveled up testicle ever, and ironically he and his children are a bunch of “cunts” according to many Australians.
otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
Hey, not just Aussies, friend. The rest of the world also considers all of them useless, parasitic, rotten cunts — from the top of their cunty übermensch lizard-skulls to their cunty grind-the-brown-children-into-dust hoof-covers. 🤌🏼
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 day ago
lachlan is worst than he is, currently hes trying to cut his other children out of the will, so they cant potentially shut down fox, because the other children besides lachlan dont share his views.
M137@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Lachlan* worse* he’s* can’t* don’t*

No need, the Land already worships both.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Originally I thought Murdoch was the inspiration for the villian in Tomorrow Never Dies, but that was a different billionaire media mogul (and father of Ghislaine Maxwell).
randompasta@lemmy.today 2 days ago
He is the mainstream media.

Owns more than just that. Owns the entire Dow Jones as well, which explains a lot.
Hikermick@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Technically he owns the majority stock in two mega media conglomerates that own these companies. Right now he and his children are fighting over ownership after he dies theguardian.com/…/the-guardian-view-on-the-murdoc…

Their story is basicly the real life inspiration for succession
psycho_driver@lemmy.world 1 day ago
He should be considered enemy #1 of the American people.
dellish@lemmy.world 1 day ago
And the Australian people, and the British people.
Stovetop@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’ll put him as a close enemy #2 after Trump, if only because I believe Murdoch is closer to death and his heirs are trapped in a succession crisis that may compromise his conservative media empire when he’s gone.
shalafi@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Trump would still be cheating real estate investors in NYC if it wasn’t for Murdock. If I could death note anyone he would be #3 behind Putin and Netanyahu.

The only reason why trump being a pedo is an issue now is because this parasite decided to make an issue.
I guess good over all to get some exposure to the pedo regime but let's be real Murdoch ain't doing this to help us or for justice.
Trump likely outlived his usefulness and being flashed to cover up for other pedos within the parasite class.
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day ago
I suspect too that Trump is simply not useful anymore to whoever actually has significant influence within the US.
Consider that Trump actively harms the US economy, in more ways than one.
- Trump’s stance against “handouts” to the people cripple the US economy. Poor people will spend whatever they get. If they get $1K in handouts, they’re gonna spend $990 in consumer spending, thus stimulating the economy. The economy is like a human blood, it needs to keep flowing sothat the human can thrive. Trump’s crippling of consumer spending cripples the US economy, and that certainly is a problem to whatever feudal lords there are in the US operating in the shadows today.
- Trump’s stance against renewable energy makes energy significantly more expensive, which again harms manufacturing (blue collar jobs) because cheap energy is the basis on which manufacturing runs. All manufacturing is a direct consequence of plentifully available cheap energy, and we all know that solar energy is the cheapest form of energy in human history
- Trump’s cuts to NASA are a threat to a new and growing economic branch that robs people of a vision of future and aspiration. The exact consequences are hard to estimate today, but they’re definitely cuts to the US economy’s future.

Everything in recent years has gone sideways. Murdoch initially wanted to build Fox News around Obama but was overruled by Roger Ailes according to reports. Ailes wanted to build conservative propaganda networks whereas Murdoch wanted people watching the news.
Jeff Bezos’s wapo and Murdoch have become allies in exposing the Epstein pedophilia network. And oddly also Walmart. This must have to do with the tariffs and ultimately the economic impact of the tariffs.
cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 day ago
he's garbage but sky news (uk) is owned by comcast not rupert these days; sky news australia is still owned by him though
he does own talktv though.

Apparently Lachlan is son is even worst than he is, hes a true believer of trump. and hes trying to cut his other children out of his will, and give it all to Lachlan, because them not on the same page of conservatism, could threaten his FOx news company. Another fun fact, he seperated fox from his other news sites, so they arnt liable if fox gets sued.

Given the lawsuit orange fuckface filed last week, I expected to see the day’s biggest news that Bondi informed cheeto dick he was in the files literally anywhere on foxnews, but it was all Obama treason this, Hillary emails that. Weird to think Murdoch wants to use one media arm to fight aussie dirt dingle, but not them all.

He’s a fucking ghoul that has been influencing opinion in the anglosphere for many years. He’s got too much control over the media in the UK, US, and Australia.
Apepollo11@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Not just media - he directly has a hand in shaping governmental policy.
By his own admission, that’s why he dislikes the EU so much - they don’t pay enough attention to him.

Murdoch is one of the first people Trump entertained in the oval office when he took over this round.

he has a hand in australia too, one of his propaganda channels, Australia sky news, is meant to trick people into thinking its the british/UK sky news. its almost always that creepy indian lady as the anchor.
