Breitbart ^ | 18 Jun 2024 | MATTHEW BOYLE
The New York Post editorial board on Monday published an extremely curious piece advocating that former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president who will formally accept the party’s nomination in July at the Republican National Convention (RNC), make certain picks for his running mate and avoid others.The Post, which News Corporation’s Rupert Murdoch controls, went all in for North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R), with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) offered up as a backup option, and went all in against Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), who has been emerging in recent weeks as a top contender. This comes...

(CNN) Rupert Murdoch might not be flexing for the cameras, but he did just quietly demonstrate the power he still wields inside the Republican Party. The right-wing media mogul’s empire — which includes Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post — not-so-subtly backed Mike Johnson as Marjorie Taylor Greene waged an all-out assault against the House Speaker over his decision to pass an aid package for Ukraine. Murdoch’s powerful collection of outlets not only voiced support for Johnson, but leveled scathing attacks on Greene, with the Post even going as far as to blast her as...

@simonateba BREAKING - CHARACTER ASSASSINATION: @FoxNews sister news outlet owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, @nypost, attacks @TuckerCarlson and @VivekGRamaswamy and indirectly @elonmusk . In what appeared to be a hit job and a deliberate character assassination to promote @RonDeSantis and @NikkiHaley, two candidates with zero chance of winning the GOP nomination, while indirectly attempting to undermine @realDonaldTrump ahead of the first GOP primary in Iowa, Rupert Murdoch's publication sensationally claimed that Vivek has become a 'conspiracy theorist' like 'Tucker Carlson' for suggesting that the next Republican debate be hosted on X for a bigger audience. The paper writes, "That...

This is so transparently silly and yet simultaneously obvious in motive.Both Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis are the approved corporate candidates for 2024. CTH pointed out this effort a year ago and all of the datapoints since then have perfectly aligned to the simple truth of the thing. Either DeSantis or Newsom is acceptable to the Sea Island crew, and guess where the debate will take place. Yep, Georgia. lolThe intelligence glow-worm known as Sean Hannity, who will have to quickly learn the shut-up skills needed to be a debate moderator, is the chosen performance artist for the nonsense. Hannity...

“I’m calling to celebrate the demise of Maxwell,” said Rupert Murdoch down the phone to me on the morning Robert Maxwell’s private effects were being auctioned in a bankruptcy sale. I acknowledged that Maxwell had been a frightful scoundrel, but that he was an unforgettable character and I didn’t like to think of him floating around dead in the Bay of Biscay. “I do,” was the reply. Murdoch, as I was often reminded over many years, was a fierce competitor. Rupert Murdoch, who has retired after 69 years at the head of News Corporation, is indisputably the foremost and boldest...

Thank you, Rupert Murdoch, for saving this newspaper so many years ago. He kept Boston a two-newspaper town, back in those long-gone days when newspapers actually mattered. If you’re depressed about how everything has been going steadily downhill in Massachusetts for decades now, all I can tell you is that if the Boston Globe had been allowed to have a monopoly on public discourse since 1982, the situation would be even more dire. Any city with two newspapers, no matter how bad, is better served than any city with one newspaper, no matter how good. Rupert Murdoch “stepped aside” the...

PALM BEACH, Florida — President Donald J. Trump reacted to News Corp mogul Rupert Murdoch standing down from his role as CEO today, in a wide ranging, exclusive interview with The National Pulse set to air early next week.Trump, who has recently been on the receiving end of Murdoch’s influence at Fox News, discussed the issue during a sit down interview at Mar-a-Lago, telling Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam, “I wish him luck,” before lauding the Fox hosts who he says have covered his campaign fairly, as well as using the opportunity to praise the late Roger Ailes.On Murdoch’s hostility towards him,...

How Trump is outfoxing Murdoch’s ‘news channel’ by snubbing Republican debate

Boston Herald ^ | August 19, 2023 | Howie Carr
Fox News Channel is now the Bud Light of cable television. Donald Trump ruined their phony-baloney debate with his announcement Friday afternoon that instead of going to Milwaukee, he may be doing a one-on-one sit-down Wednesday night with Tucker Carlson. Think about how that’s going to play out. Fox’s bid to escape its post-Tucker ratings plunge is now wrecked. Instead, it becomes a vice presidential debate, a sour-grapes hiss-fest, Paul Ryan’s worst nightmare. And Fox & Friends can’t even discuss it, because then they would have to mention the other T word — Tucker. And that cardinal sin gets even...

RICHMOND — Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has repeatedly encouraged Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) to run for president in 2024, according to two people familiar with entreaties made in at least two face-to-face meetings. The previously unreported meetings took place months ago, but Murdoch’s ask has taken on fresh relevance as Youngkin continues to lay the groundwork for a potential last-minute White House bid and as Murdoch outlets hyped his presidential prospects this month with a mix of sober Wall Street Journal analysis and buzzy Page Six blurbs.

Saving the Republic was always going to be a trilogy. In 2016 we caught the club off guard, “Club Wars” began. In 2020 the collective “Empire Strikes Back.” Now we enter 2024, all of the enemies are defined, and the “Revenge of the MAGA” begins.Within the epic battle that 2024 represents, the multinationals are deploying every available weapon in their arsenal and the rebellion is running an insurgency campaign while withstanding the constant bombardment. While much is yet to be determined, our flag is still raised, and we stand steadfast -living our best life- while the bombs burst all around...

The private yacht reportedly belonging to media mogul Rupert Murdoch has been seen cruising off the coast of Fiscardo harbour on the northern part of the Greek island of Kefalonia in the Ionian Sea. It was confirmed that the yacht had been viewed hours after US website Drudge Report claimed that the 92-year-old billionaire, who called off what would have been his fifth wedding a few months ago, was lounging on a yacht with a “new woman.” There was speculation that he might be in love again. Murdoch’s potential new love interest is identified in the article as scientist Elena...

VIDEORupert Murdoch has been attempting to manipulate the American political system AWAY from President Donald Trump ever since he chose Chris Stirewalt to report from the Fox News election desk on Election Night 2020. That's when Stirewalt chose to ignore calling Florida for Trump for hours despite an early overwhelming lead in that state yet bizarrely called Arizona for Biden just minutes after the polls closed there. Ever since then, Murdoch has been pulling down the Fox News ratings by continually slamming Trump and now promoting other candidates, most notably Ron DeSantis. As you can see in this Fox News...

The transparency of the puppeteers continues. The latest example is the New York Post (Murdoch outlet) promoting a story of the RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel, appearing on Fox News (Murdoch outlet) to warn President Trump not to avoid the RNC debate hosted by Fox News, the Murdoch outlet.The private corporation (RNC) has a vested interest in Trump delivering credibility to the organization. The Fox News corporation has a vested interest in Trump delivering credibility and ratings to the organization. Whether President Trump decides to attend or not, the desperation expressed by the two corporations is a little funny.The Freudian slip...
