I think that Rupert has dementia, much like Biden, but not not as bad. He was engaged to woman, who would have been his fifth wife and he called off the engagement because she kept talking about spiritual things, including a remark in an interview that Tucker Carlson was a messenger from God. It is my guess that his kids used that remark to talk him out of marrying for a fifth time.
Then, I think, and this is only a guess, that when that woman CEO and the younger Murdoch called Rupert on Friday night to convince him to silence Murdoch, they told him about Tucker’s speech at the Heritage Foundation, never thinking that Rupert would turn around and tell the press that was one of the reasons that they wanted Tucker to go. ( or be silenced).
Rupert’s final mission before he croaks is to keep President Trump from being elected in 2024. The Steal- Part Deux.
