News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch, in a discursive speech Monday evening, blasted Secretary of State John Kerry and attacked the left for creating an "identity crisis" that he charged has undermined American strength and fostered terrorism around the world.
And he drew a connection between U.S. foreign policy and domestic culture, arguing that "in recent years, there has been far too much institutionalization of grievance and victimhood."
The Australian-born media mogul, a naturalized U.S. citizen, also touched on the Republican presidential primary, which he said "has articulated a deep distaste for the slow descent of our country."
"Before delivering my modest message," Murdoch joked at the outset of his address accepting the Hudson Institute's Global Leadership Award, "I feel obliged to alert college students, progressive academics and all other deeply sensitive souls that these words may contain phrases and ideas that challenge your prejudices--in other words, I formally declare this room an 'unsafe space.'"
After a few words of praise for former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who had just introduced him to the hawkish think-tank crowd, Murdoch quickly pivoted to a sweeping indictment of U.S. foreign policy under Barack Obama, though he did not mention the president by name.
"For a U.S. secretary of state to suggest that Islamic terrorists had a 'rationale' in slaughtering journalists is one of the low points of recent Western diplomacy and it is indicative of a serious malaise," Murdoch said, referring to Kerry's recent mangled attempt to draw a distinction between the assault on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and the more recent Paris attacks.

Yet the whiner continues to maintain an anti-Trump message to this day.
I am through with Fox.
Through. Completely.
President Obama is enlisting conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch in his fight to combat climate change, with companies News Corporation and 21st Century Fox signing onto a White House pledge to cut emissions and support the president’s push for a global climate deal in Paris.

Says the guy who sold his network to the Leftists.
ESAD.
You have the alternative of turning to either TheBlaze.com, a Glenn Beck enterprise, or One America News Network, to get you “right of center” news sources, but even those disgusted with Fox News and their Shepard Smith/Geraldo Rivera/Juan Williams presentations may not find those sources to their liking.
Using even the “mainstream” news sources, and balancing them with, say, CCTV-4 world news coverage, can come up with at least a relatively complete news coverage, if you keep your own internal BS meter from fouling and becoming useless.
I’ve basically stopped watching Fox News, and Fox Business (though I occasionally will watch Fox Business, they’re not so bad). I have simply stopped watching Fox entirely, since the first Fox debate where I as extraordinarily po’d at Megan Kelly’s behavior.
Have not watched at all.
I can handle getting news from the other sources, as my BS meter is constantly on when I do.
But Fox used to be my reliable source.
That is FINISHED.
100%. Murdoch simply chased be away. So I left.
Completely.
Faux News is fooling fewer and fewer people. They have outed themselves as part of the Ministry Of Propaganda.
They work for The Cheap Labor Express
